We would regularly walk into thetown each night and would look in awe at a town which ...  Read the complete review

Have been to Albuferia about twice a year for the last 5 or so years now and I still love it as much as I did the first time. I'm in my late twenties but there are things to do for every age. Weather is hottest in July and August as you might expect but you can get weather in the 70s in April and October although you may experience a day or two of ...  Read the complete review

We arrived in Albufeira at around 3pm in the afternoon on 7th July 2007 and the first thing that hit us was the heat. We hadn't anticipated how hot it was going to be!

The weather was fantastic, there were loads of beaches and the town was full of bars and restaurants. So what was wrong? The town itself has no ...  Read the complete review

This year Mr Geordieger, Mrs Geordieger and the two little Geordiegers set off on their first ever holiday abroad. After some debate and hours pouring over the travel brochers we decided on Albufeira, on the Algarve. Now before I go any further I have to warn you that this op may seem long but I want to be as thorough as possible. ...  Read the complete review

Well thinking of all this makes you wonder what a wonderful place it is. But... the beaches are filled with fishermen/women and fishingboats, they absoloutely ...  Read the complete review

I went to Albufeira in June this year, just as the holiday season was kicking off. 12 of us staying in a luxurious apartment just outside the heart of the town. The town itself is like any other popular European resort, i.e Magaluf, Corfu, Gran Canaria. Full of tacky tourist shops, filled with variations of the National Symbol, ...  Read the complete review

Albufeira was a last minute choice, an apartment found for us by our travel agent at a very reasonable price and cheap flights to Faro.
