Fantastic Beaches for a Relaxing Holiday in Albufeira
Three miles of beautiful beaches include wide sandy bays and smaller coves that shelve into the sparkling turquoise sea and are sheltered by craggy sandstone cliffs. Traditional fishing boats are a colourful feature of Praia dos Pescadores and the local fishermen go about their tasks regardless of the sun worshippers on holiday that share their shore. Promenades backing the beaches are lined with bars and restaurants to keep you entertained on a cheap holiday in Albufeira; those around fishermen's beach are renowned for their seafood specialties.
Eating Out Whilst on Holiday in Albufeira
Old meets new on a cheap holiday in Albufeira and the maze of cobbled streets in the charming historic quarter are a pleasure to explore. Finding atmospheric bars and restaurants to watch the world go by, especially in the shady central square of Largo Eng Duarte Pacheco is a popular pastime on a cheap holiday here. From a pedestrian street nearby, a 'tunnel' leads back to one of the town's main beaches; easy access is a feature of the popular holiday resort.
The hustle and bustle of 'new' Albufeira is centred on Arcias de Sao Joao, otherwise known as 'The Strip'. All along this main route to Praia de Oura Beach, buzzing bars and restaurants serve English breakfasts and beer among the international favourites on the good value tourist menus. On the outskirts of town, the modern Marina is also worth a stroll whilst visiting on a cheap package holiday to see the brightly painted buildings and colourful dolphin statues around the quays. The locals have labelled this area ‘Legoland’ so you’ll have to see for yourself if this an accurate description!
