Albufeira has been called 'The Gateway to the Algarve', and this thriving Portuguese seaport has plenty of treasures to discover. Since the 1960s, it has grown from a fishing village to a major holiday resort with over fifteen thousand permanent residents.
Albufeira is famous for its beautiful beaches, and the rocks and cliffs there, which are painted in a rich palette of natural colours. Find a new and more tranquil pace of life as you sink your toes into the sand and feel your heart slow down until it is in rhythm with the sound of the waves crashing on the beach.
The Abufeira old town centre is a great place to enjoy a sunny afternoon. It has a central square decorated with trees and colourful shrubs, and is packed with great cafes and restaurants where you can sit out on the patio and enjoy a drink or a bite to eat in the sunshine. Have a wander down to the Albufeira marina and sit amongst the brightly coloured buildings and watch the boats and people go by.
Friendly and welcoming villages are dotted around this region, giving you a chance to chat with friendly locals and enjoy the Portuguese lifestyle. You can spend your days learning about the rich history of the area, visiting the collection of 15th and 17th century Ming ceramics at the local museum, perusing a new exhibition at the Municipal art gallery, or enjoying the new Virtual Archeological Museum. Explore the castle, which is Arab in origin and was inhabited until the 14th century. Inside you will find the ruins of Nossa Senhora da Assunção (Our Lady of Assumption).
Your days are packed with breath-taking beaches and fascinating local history and your nights will be filled with food, drink and merriment as you share quality time with friends and dance the night away at the many bars, restaurants and clubs.
