4* Algarve beach break from £141pp w/flights and transfers - save up to 57%Flights included · via Voyage Prive |
|
Proud of its castle walls, Albufeira is not just a picturesque old fishing village, although it has preserved the traditional lines that make it so distinctive. The town is imbued with the history of bygone days - from the time of the Romans, who called the town “Baltum”, to the Moors, who in the 18th century gave it the name “Al-Buhera” (Castle of the Sea). Feast your eyes on the blue and serene beauty of the sea, clusters of whitewashed houses with lace-patterned chimneys and narrow colourful streets. The Algarve region is brimming with wonderful scenery and huge character — dramatic cliffs, deserted beaches, scalloped bays, sandy islands and unspoilt natural parks abound. |
