Albufeira is a prime example of the transformation of a fishing village into a popular tourist resort. Colorful southern life is not limited to winding Moorish streets and flows smoothly to the shore. The sandy beaches in the city are well equipped, while seaside cafes serve snacks and fresh seafood. Remote beaches compete in beauty: photogenic Falesia, the bays of Albandeira, and Marinha with stone arches and huge boulders.
