transport information
by mckillen
what is the distance from quinta da balaia st to albuferia town centre
is it with in walking distance or does one need to take a taxi or local bus
and what would the cost be
Re: transport information
by cubsur
It's over two miles from Quinta da Balaia to the old town centre along a busy main road.
There is a local bus service (GIRO LINHA VERMELHA 2) every half hour that will take you most of the way to the old town but still leaves a 10 minute walk at the other end.
For bus details please see this page on my personal website
www.algarvebus.info/albufeira.htm#giro
That's an overview page with links to maps and timetables.
The stop at Modelo shopping centre is nearest to the old town.
Or you can walk the 600 yards or so to the 'Globes' roundabout and take the other bus (LINHA VERDE)also every half hour) to Pau da Bandeira which is directly above the old town, which you get to down (and back up) the new escaltors.
One way fare is €1.10 either way.
A taxi will cost you about 5 Euros; call 289 583 230. There are two taxi ranks down in the old town for the journey back.
Hope that helps - I live in Albufeira so let me know if there's anything else you need to know.
Travel Tips for Albufeira
Walking through the beaches...
by Shibiru
Well...we discovered that portuguese people aren't so used to walk...so they thought we were a little crazy by walking so much.
We went to the left side of the beach (looking to the ocean) and started walking from beach to beach, "climbing" the stones between them....getting wet by waves, enjoying the wind, sun and totally empty beaches!
The Algarve coast is amazing!!!! With all its "falesias" (=cliffs)...it's just worth seeing it.
We met a brazilian guy there and he said he doesn't think it's so nice in portugal, 'cause the beaches in Brazil are much prettier...it's not true...they are just different. In Brazil we don't have cliffs...so seeing them in Portugal is just spectacular!
The clock tower
by call_me_rhia
It’s the first thing that caught my eye when entering Albufeira: I looked up and saw this strange wrought-iron structure on top of a bell tower. I later learned that it is considered the symbol of the city: it’s in Rua Bernardino de Sousa. Is it a church? I’m not sure. It surely looks like one… however I know that once the building used to be the country jail. Was it then turned into a church? I very much doubt so
Questions and Answers
Q: is it busy "hi all im flying out on the 26th of may is it busy at the moment.and where is the best place to go on a night time? thanks"
A: "OK, Albufeira is a big place (6 miles across) so where are you staying and what sort of night-life experience are you looking for? There are plenty of different things..."
