    • There's so many natural wonders in and near Albufeira that one would hardly get bored. The most impressive are the sea stacks - which are actually mostly located on beaches. When you reach Albufeira's beach from the town (through the tunnel) there's one on your left (the most impressive one). Another one lies at the very end of the beach - you'll finding by walking towards the pontoon and thewn further down the beach (where the first promontory starts). There's also natural arches in the sea - and sea and beach caves... as well as many really scenic and imposing cliffs

    • In case you'll be in Albufeira on a rainy day, you could spend a few hours at the Archeological Museum. it's located in the old Town Hall building, opposite the bell tower. Its exhibits tell the history of the region from prehistoric, Roman, Islamic to the present day. In the same building you can also find the Historical Archive and Council Library (Arquivo Histórico e Biblioteca Municipal). Don't miss the manuscripts setion, ok?
