Local buses
|
The fast growth of Albufeira justified the creation of a local bus network, called Giro. It covers all the city now, with four different routes, identified by different colors. If you decide to go a little further there are regional buses, being EVA the main company in Algarve.

Parking solution
|
Parking is a nightmare in Albufeira. The best solution downtown is to use a small and dusty area east of the beach, and use the escalators nearby. The problem is that, after the construction of the mechanic escalators, the park seems to be shrinking! |
"Reveillon"
|
Most people gather in Albufeira for New Year's eve. Some of them prefer to stay in the hotels. That´s what we did, in Hotel Paraíso de Albufeira. Several options, several levels of price, but no one stays at home in that night, and for those who can't afford the high prices of the hotels, it's usual to have a public party in Pescadores beach. |
