Albufeira is a Portuguese city and a municipality in the district of Faro.
Albufeira is one of the leading tourist resorts of the region. New developments include a marina, golf courses plus innumerable hotels and apartment blocks for the annual flood of visitors.
The architecture of the town ranges from typically Algarvian narrow streets with pale white and sometimes tiled houses to very modern tourist developments. The apartments near the newly built marina are a unique spash of pinks, blues and yellows, dubbed Legoland by the local inhabitants.
Once the sun sets the centre of Albufeira comes alive with bars, like the very popular Travellers Rest, restaurants and shops to suit most tastes from authentic Portuguese fare to Irish pubs and sports bars. Local culinary specialities are cataplana (steamed shellfish) and caldeirada (fish stew), and the simpler grilled sardines.
Albufeira is a good base to explore the region with many smaller and less well known beaches within a short drive.
