Albufeira has become one of the most significant city's of leisure and tourism. This is not surprising, as it boasts the most beautiful beaches and cliffs. Once you are at the beach, there is nothing more rewarding than breathing in the fresh air, whilst having a beautiful view of the city and surrounding cliffs.
The countryside of Albufeira is littered with lovely orange, pine, almond and fig trees, whilst the city consists of a maze of narrow streets which still contains the traditional whitewashed houses along with bars, cafe's and restaurants. |
