The Albufeira municipality
The whole Albufeira municipality, in one place.
Once a fishing village, now the Algarve’s busiest resort town, Albufeira still keeps its whitewashed old town above the sand, with Guia’s piri-piri chicken and Paderne’s castle just inland. This is everything happening across the concelho: the towns, the beaches, the events and the businesses, brought together and kept current by the community.
