| Albufeira Algarve, Portugal
Albufeira is a Portuguese city in the Algarve. It has 19,500 inhabitants. The population expands significantly in the summer, as Albufeira is one of the leading tourist resorts of the region. New developments include a marina, golf courses plus innumerable hotels and apartment blocks for the annual flood of visitors.
Most tourists will arrive via nearby Faro airport a short 40 minute drive way. The architecture of the town ranges from typically Algarvian narrow streets with pale white and sometimes tiled houses though to the very modern tourist developments. The apartments near the newly built marina are a unique spash of pinks, blues and yellows, dubbed legoland by the local inhabitants.

| A busy trading port in ancient times, Albufeira declined into a poor fishing town in the 18th century, having been swamped by tidal waves and burnt out by civil war. But since the 1960s the tide has turned again and this central Algarve enclave is once more awash with prosperity, thanks to a tourist boom. |
