The beautiful Algarve

Local area

 

Albufeira

 

Sao RafaelAlbufeira has become one of the most popular resorts in the Algarve. It is a lively bustling town with a huge variety of shops, bars, clubs and restaurants which come alive at night providing entertainment until dawn. Still retaining the charm and character of its Moorish origins, explore the maze of cobbled streets which are filled with inexpensive restaurants serving traditional meals and delicious fresh seafood. Although once a fishing village, you can still watch the boats land daily on the famous Fishermans beach.
