Albufeira

by intertraveler - last update: Sep 16, 2007

Quite impressed

Vasso Da Gamma ( Made out off sand )
This is are first visit to Portugal.
The first impression of albufeira was a little disapointed but after a weeks stay I was quite impressed overhaul
Albufeira is quite a large resort with a few diferent areas, we stayed in the Santa Eulalia area. This was quite and about ten minutes walk to the beach and the other way about 15 minutes walk to the strip.
My thoughts was it would be quite like Spain but I was wrong most of the Portugese poeple were very friendly and Albufeira as a big residential area not all tourism with a relaxed atmosphere.
One of the old town beaches

Beaches

There are many good beaches and coves which makes a change from staying around the pool.
Town Square

Old Town

The Old Town from around the Town Square is full off narrow streets with some nice restaurants and quite a few shops nice to have a look around and stop for a bite to eat or drink.

 After leaving my comment about the dining experience, I was asked to leave my rating for Susans restaurant. The only rating I can leave would be a thumbs down. This being for the staff who were extremely unhelpful and one member just downright rude!
