Albufeira is a perfectly located astonishing little town in the heart of Algarve. It used to be a small fishing village back in the 60's, but since then it has grown into a popular holiday resort for tourists from all over the world. The cheap flights to Faro makes it an easily reachable destination for everyone. Albufeira is the number one for holidaymakers from the UK. The airport in Faro is just about 30km far from Albufeira. The huge variety of bars and café's won't leave anybody thirsty. The chicken restaurants are widely known for their top quality food and service.
