Location Details for this apartment rental in Albufeira
The Marina de Albufeira apartments are located in a wonderfully modern but picuresque setting overlooking the marina with views to the sea beyond..There are shops, restaurants and bars dotted along the marina offering a good range of delicious meals and wines to sample at your leisure and soak up the ambiance of marina life..
The Old Town is but a 15 minute stroll away complete with fabulous views of the sea, Fishermans Beach and the along the coast to Vilamoura..
The Old Town was originally the harbour for the local fishermen (hence its name) and over the years has retained its charm with cobbled streets and a central square surrounded by small shops selling local souvenirs, bars and restaurants..The local dish served in most Portuguese restaurants is chicken piripiri and fresh sardines are very popular and worth trying..
The nearest beach is called Fishermans Beach and it has lovely golden sand but is one of many Blue flag beaches to explore( Gale and Sao Raphael to name but 2)..
For those who love to shop there is Algarve shopping which is approx 15 minutes away by car and it boasts a large supermarket, shops for wandering about, a cinema showing the latest films in English and a 10 pin bowling alley.
There are 2 waterparks within a 15-20 minute drive away and Zoomarine where you can pass a pleasant day with family and friends learning about the marine life off the coast of Portugal.
