The Old Albufeira or the historical center of the town is the ideal place for an evening stroll, where whitewashed houses, meandering Portuguese paved streets and the charm of the past can be admired.

Albufeira has several spots where you can stop and admire the landscape, such as Miradouro do Pau da Bandeira. You can enjoy the scenery of the picturesque townscape at sunset, when everything seems to be covered in a magical fairy tale globe of fire.

Captivating for its Neoclassical architecture, Albufeira’s 18^th century main church Igreja Martiz is a remarkable spiritual place, where you will definitely be astonished by Marian statue of Nossa Senhora da Orada, sculpted in the 1400s. If you need a quiet peaceful place to go, this is the place you need to visit.

For more history, you can visit Castelo de Paderne, where you can discover the ruins of this medieval castle in an arid Mediterranean landscape of olive groves and carob trees. This structure was built by Moors in the 12^th century during the time of the Christian Reconquista.

Albufeira has so many things to offer and places to visit, but you definitely can’t miss the outstanding cuisine, very famous among tourists. Allow yourself to be carried away by the diversity of tastes, scents, seafood and the unique wines.
