Once a poor fishing village, the extraordinary climate, sandy coves and golden beaches stunning beaches have seen Albufeira grow into a holiday-land suburbia, drawing an assorted crowd from retired couples to wild teens, and plenty of families with young children. Everyone finds something to enjoy in this sprawling, low-rise holiday Mecca, which retains its old world charm in narrow alleyways behind the new hip and happening "Strip".
Enchanting beaches
The main attraction of Albufeira is its 23 enchanting beaches, most protected by ochre-tinted cliffs. Watersports facilities abound including sailing, windsurfing and jet-skiing. For those who venture beyond the beaches there is plenty to see and do, from golfing at the Shearton Algarve, and fun times at the nearby Zoo Marine, to wandering around the tranquil old down or exploring the tranquil green countryside.
Buzzing nightlife
As with elsewhere in Portugal, seafood is the speciality of the house in most of the restaurants, with the catch of the day guaranteed to be fresh. After the sun goes down most holidaymakers enjoy a drink at one of the outdoor cafes before heading for the lively bars surrounding the town square or lining the Strip. The bars keep buzzing into the small hours, and discos and nightclubs aplenty provide dancing until dawn.
