Holidays in Albufeira, The Algarve, Portugal

Albufeira (Arabic: Lagoon)is a Portuguese city and a municipality in the district of Faro, Algarve region.

Albufeira is now one of the leading tourist resorts of the region with new developments including a marina, golf courses plus innumerable hotels and apartment blocks.

Once the sun sets the centre of Albufeira comes alive with bars, like the very popular Milly O' Nairs at Hotel Janelas Do Mar, restaurants and shops to suit most tastes from authentic Portuguese fare to Irish pubs and sports bars. Local culinary specialities are cataplana (steamed shellfish) and caldeirada (fish stew), and the simpler grilled sardines.

Most tourists will arrive via nearby Faro airport, a short 40 minute drive away. The architecture of the town ranges from typically Algarvian narrow streets with pale white and sometimes tiled houses to very modern tourist developments. The apartments near the newly built marina are a unique spash of pinks, blues and yellows, dubbed Legoland by the local inhabitants.
