Sat in hotel in albufeira now, watching you in albufeira 😁😁 Did you visit the new town. That side is clubs and pubs. Large groups of men and women. Ok during the day. The old town is more couples and families. Live singers in the street at night. The marina is a good trip for the day also.

We absolutely love watching your videos. Very to the point and informative and great shots of the sights! Of the 3 areas, Albufeira, Portimao, and Quarteira, which would you recommend for a months stay in Feb for a couple in their early 60’s. An area not super busy or over populated and yet still has lots to see with eating out options. We are thinking of renting a car to see more of the Algarve through day trips. Any suggestions?
@BrianandCarrie
Жыл бұрын
We preferred Albufeira over Portimao, we didn't have the opportunity to make it to Quarteira. For day trips Lagos in the west and Tavira and Vila Real de Santo Antonio in the east. Having a car is a must to see the area so we would highly recommend renting one!! Have fun and safe travels!! Cheers!!🍻

Albufeira is probably the best spot to be in the Algarve, despite not having a proper train stop. While it's not the most charming town, it has everything there (beaches, restaurants, pubs, clubs) or nearby (Guia Shopping Centre, Aquaparks). Albufeira is in the centre of the Algarve coastline, it's 90 min drive to Sagres or to Spain..

Sooooo great video... Thanks for it I just noticed it this a.m. Trip planned for March 7 with sister. Looking at two different airbnbs both at the marina. It's that classified as old Town? It's that a good location? Amsterdam to Lisbon to Albufeira back to amsterdam. Thanks for the heads up on the train. Take traffic to Largo then bus into Albufeira?? And info would be much appreciated. Planning on picking up rental car in faro. We just can't decide if we should do Lisbon first or last?
@BrianandCarrie
Жыл бұрын
The area around the marina would be a good location in our opinion. Renting a car is a great idea and really easy to do at the airport, no need to stick around Faro but Lagos, Tavira and the Monte Gorda Vila Real area are worth visiting. Taking the ferry over to Spain for sangria is something fun to do from Vila Real. You may have already watched some of our other videos on the Algarve but if you haven't, we really enjoyed the eastern half although it may be a bit slow in March. Have a great trip and safe travels!! Cheers!! 🍻 PS. The Algarve will be relaxing, and Lisbon will be busy. We would prefer to relax at the end of our vacation. 😀
