Shopping in Albufeira
Albufeira sports a vast number of shops which sell just about anything and everything. The town's central shopping plaze, the Modelo Centre in Rua de Municipio, features a sprawling multitude of shops, as does the Algarve Shopping Complex, located only a few paces away in Guia. The Algarve Shopping Complex has more than a hundred shops including restaurants, movie theaters and bowling alleys. It opens at 9:00 AM and generally stays open until midnight.
There are numerous small kiosks at the seaside, selling swimwear and other beach-related items.
A market day is held weekly in the Old Town part of Albufeira, from where souvenirs and many types of handicrafts can be purchased at very reasonable prices. A market operated by gypsies is held fortnightly in Albufeira's main square, from where you can buy beautiful jewelry, ceramics, paintings and pure lavender honey among other things.
No matter what you are looking for, there is a very good chance that a shop in Albufeira is carrying exactly what you need. However, the nomenclature of the shops may seem a bit erratic to newcomers, with small shops being called ‘mini markets', larger shops being dubbed ‘supermarkets', and what is known elsewhere as supermarkets are known as ‘hypermarkets'.
A market that is called as the “gypsy market” is also held twice in a month. You can hire a car in Portugal and drive up to the venue of the main square where it’s held. It sells not only exquisite ceramic pieces and fragile filigree jewels but also several traditional paintings. The car rental in Albufeira can also be availed for driving up to the numerous shops that sell delicious edibles and scrumptious food items. So regardless of what you want rent a car in Albufeira and drive up to the destination of your choice. You are bound to find everything. So go for the Albufeira shopping experience and shop your heart out!
