Albufeira
As it happens with other old fishing villages in the Algarve, Albufeira has undergone a huge transformation in just a few years, becoming one of the favorite tourist destinations for both nationals and foreigners. Its historic area, full of pedestrian alleys where shops and esplanades abound, is well worth a visit. Highlight for some viewpoints offering beautiful panoramic views over the ocean and for some pleasant gardens with cafes in the area. In terms of gastronomy, and being a coastal city, fresh fish and seafood are the specialty, not forgetting the famous Guia chicken. Be sure to try the grilled sardines, the "xerém with conquilhas", the "feijoada à marinheira", the rice with octopus and the "feijoada de buzinas".
