Albufeira is situated on the Algarve and is one of Portugal's most popular resorts. This sprawling resort is renowned for both its beaches and its nightlife. During the day there is the opportunity to participate in numerous watersports or simply sunbathe on a choice of beaches then at night the resort comes to life, visitors can enjoy the restaurants, bars and discos that enliven the night-time hours.
"..bars, beach and a great climate.."
Albufeira boasts an array of beautiful beaches where the sand is fine and the sea a turquoise blue and sheltered by cliffs, all of them are different yet they are all equally enchanting. Gale beach for example has a sunbed area but stroll along the beach and you can discover a hidden cove or a small beach bar to spend a relaxing afternoon.
Although once a quiet fishing village the resort is now all about tourism, however some of the old charm is still there, found in the labyrinth of narrow streets, lined with whitewashed houses, apartments, cafes and shops, which lead down the hillside to a central square. The square is a good place to sit and watch the world go by. Nearby, a tunnel at the end of a pedestrian-only mall leads on to the town's main beach.
The resort has a wide choice of holiday accommodation from small apartments to large luxury hotels. With its' great sunshine record the resort enjoys a long season and can stay relatively busy until October.
