Portugal is not only the most western, but also the oldest country in Europe. The word "Portugal" was first mentioned in 868. Albufeira is an old resort town in the heart of the Algarve, 35 km from Faro and 250 km from Lisbon. Very lively and probably the most crowded and a hangout spot on the entire southern coast, it is a favorite destination for tourists from all over the world. A strip of many kilometers of sandy beaches separated by picturesque cliffs, as well as a well-developed infrastructure, make Albufeira one of the most attractive resorts in the Algarve. Fun and fine dining in the Algarve go hand in hand with sun and beaches. Albufeira is once a quiet fishing village that still retains its traditional character and cute provincial charm. Its heart is a labyrinth of steep, narrow streets lined with snow-white houses that lead to beautiful beaches. Later, Albufeira was occupied by the Romans and named Baltum. The modern name of the city comes from the Arabic word “Al-buhera”, which means “sea castle”. The Arabs built powerful defensive structures here, making the area almost impregnable. This helped them to preserve these lands for a long time. This city has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. Albufeira has a wonderful sandy beach with crystal clear ocean. The city itself is small - it is home to about 40 thousand inhabitants, an area of 140.66 km of Albufeira boasts more than 500 restaurants that offer a wide selection of Portuguese cuisine and delicious seafood. The resort is surrounded by beautiful beaches, orange trees and pine trees. All conditions have been created for vacationers: comfortable accommodation in hotels, rich nightlife, restaurants, clubs, boutiques, discos. Any kind of entertainment is available on the beaches: from windsurfing and diving to water skiing and jet skiing. The city is spread over steep hills, so walks consist of serious ups and downs. The life of tourists is made easier thanks to a special type of transport - a car with small trailers attached to it. This mini-train runs every 20 minutes. (in summer) and 40 min. (in winter). There are five bus routes in the city that take you to all the main attractions of Albufeira in Portugal. They work from 7 am to 10 pm. The old town is the most picturesque part of Albufeira and its main attraction. The attention of tourists is attracted by the Moorish style of buildings - narrow streets bordered on both sides by white stone houses. Arab domination remained in the distant past, reminding of itself by the only surviving arch - a fragment of an old mosque. Walking down the steep narrow streets leading down (up), you will feel the spirit of the ancient Moorish culture, which has had a strong influence not only on the city, but throughout Portugal. The snow-white houses built in the 18th century have not suffered from either earthquakes or wars. The park is a suitable place to relax with children. It is located a few kilometers from Albufeira and covers an area of 8 hectares. The rich program is equally interesting for both children and adults. In all shows and marine animals participate in the entertainment. In the aquarium, you can observe the aquatic and terrestrial life of its inhabitants. There are several species of sharks here. A visit to the 4D Cinema takes you on an educational journey across the ocean. There are many pools, attractions, recreation areas, shops and restaurants on the territory of the Albufeira Water Park. Flights on a pirate ship, ascent on the Ferris wheel, water slides and much more are waiting for you.
