west algarve
One of the most popular seaside resorts in the Algarve due to its liveliness and irreverence, Albufeira owes its fame to its beautiful beaches and many bars and clubs.
But it’s worth getting to know this city of white weddings better. Founded by the Arabs, it retains its narrow and winding streets, which can be discovered on a day or night walk as the entertainment never stops.
But it was the beaches that gave Albufeira international fame. And they are all different, each with its own charm. The variety is great and begins in the west at Praia dos Salgados with its white sand dunes. There are areas framed by rocks sculpted by erosion, such as Galé, Castelo, São Rafael or Arrifes.
On the one hand, it’s great to be in the city center because you’re easily close to everything on foot, it’s a small city. On the other hand, it is also excellent to be in the rural area of the city and enjoy the silence and live in harmony with nature. If you are undecided, split your vacation and enjoy both sides !
