Misericordia Chapel
by Geoff_Wright
The Misericordia Chapel is to be found nearby to the Clock Tower, along the rua Henrique Calado, which leads past the Hospital and to the site of the North Gate.
Formally an Arab mosque, it was restored in 1499 and named the "Capela da Misericordia". Severely affected by the 1755 earthquake, the chapel and doorway were restored to their former Gothic style.
Excellent Fillet Steaks
by Geoff_Wright about Venezia Restaurante/Grill
There are just so many restaurants to chose from in Albufeira. You can't possibly eat at all of them in a week, or even three, LOL! so, wherever you eat, it'll be because of the type of food that you are interested in. The Venezia Restaurante is just one of many in The Strip, where you will be lost for choice. We decided on fillet steak and trimmings, followed by Banana Splits (huge!!), and a small lager and Coke. All this cost us 31 Euros. The steak was excellent, and the service was very good too, although we got there rather late, and I think they were reaching closing time.
Albufeira - The best place in the world!
by Jofus
One of my best friends moved to Boliquieme in January 2004, so me and two other friends went to stay with her in March 2004 for the first time. That was the beginning of a chain of holidays in Boliquieme and Albufeira!!
We love it in the Algarve and dont want to go anywhere else for holidays!
Since March we have been 3 times!
