| Albufeira resort |

 Albufeira is a bustling coastal resort set in between the major towns of Faro and Portimão. The heart of Albufeira is an area with many hotels and apartments, a wide variety of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities.
The architecture of the town ranges from typically Algarvian narrow streets with pale white and sometimes tiled houses to very modern tourist developments. The apartments near the newly built Marina e Bryn are a unique spash of pinks, blues and yellows, dubbed Legoland by the local inhabitants. |
