The Algarve

[Thaksins Love Child]

Anyone been?

Considering it for a 10 day break in July but never been before. Probably all inclusive.

After nice beaches and restaurants with bars/clubs if we want it but nowhere too mental.

Alternative recommendations welcomed.

Went to Albuferira last year for a short 5 day break and enjoyed it there is 2 parts to it 1/ the strip which is full of bars and clubs and 2/ the old town which is full of restaurants and bars

We spent most of our time in the old town at nights as this is more our cup of tea

We were also all inclusive and although we both enjoyed it i wouldnt like to stay for much more than the five days we stayed as i think it would get a little repetative after that but that is just our opinion

I was there back in May 2007.

Been lying low since.

Many years ago we stayed in Praia Da Rocha, Estrela de Vau apartments, that was pretty nice, 4 star and got it as a late deal quite cheap as sister-in-law worked for a travel agents.

Back then there were few hotels around and it was pretty quiet but you could see it was about to be developed quite a bit, had a great time though, visited Lagos (very nice place) and also (and this may seem a bit weener style behaviour) we went for a trip just riding on the old train (anyone familiar will know what I'm talking about) cheap as f*ck back then and you really do meet some great characters.

Went to Albufeira, wasn't too keen, too busy for me, but a great sight is looking outside the window upon landing at Faro airport, they had a type of bird sanctuary nearby then (probably still do) just great to watch.
