Albufeira is a Portuguese city on the southern coast of the Mediterranean and has a gorgeous temperate climate and pristine beaches to entice travellers to holiday in this area. Located in the Algarve, the city is a great trip for any type of traveller. The city and surrounding areas are easily accessible when using a rental car. Be cautious when driving because driving in the Albufeira city can be confusing. There are no street signs, so be sure to bring a map or use a GPS navigation system, which many car hire agencies offer for an additional fee. Car hire at the airport makes travel in Albufeira easy, since travellers can arrange for the ideal vehicle for their party and have the reservation set up days, weeks, or months in advance. In the city, visit the Castelo de Almoada, a 12th century Moorish castle that overlooks the city. The city has a street called “The Strip” that has bars, clubs, and pubs to fit any taste. The city has three world-class golf courses and there are many others in nearby Villamoura to work on your handicap while enjoying the sunny Mediterranean climate. The resorts in Albufeira are varied in style and price, so there is something in every price bracket. Markets are a good way to take in the culture of Albufeira. Local artists sell hand painted ceramics and copper crafts as well as corn husk mats and handmade rag dolls, all of which are indicative of the Portuguese and specifically, the Algarve culture. For even more of a local taste, visit the Municipal market of Calicos, which offers fresh produce, seafood, candies, and dried fruits. There are markets and fairs that run monthly in the city, where visitors can buy gifts and trinkets along with other souvenirs. Haggling is encouraged in these markets, so be prepared to wheel and deal. Finally, take in a day at the local beaches, and you will see that there is a lot to explore in and around Albufeira.
