    Hi Kevin your comment about not bringing just a card might be not quite correct as family who spend long periods of time there say you can use cards as anywhere they go they are accepted. You have a different experience fair enough maybe you should have some cash in case card machine broken etc but in general cards are widely used and accepted.

    I love Albufeira so much for the lovely clear blue cool calming and relaxing Atlantic ocean and the beautiful golden sandy beaches followed the wonderful enjoyment of the atmospheric night life in the old town and The Strip. I visited twice and each time I felt emotional when it was time to come home I wanted to cry. The beers are not expensive, I took out £60 euro for food and drink for a night out for 4 hours, unless you're eating lobster which you might need to take a card with you. The best time to go for the nightlife is September as the sun sets around 19:30-20:30 and it's all lit up. Lots of bars provide entertainment including bands plus a show in the town square. One bar worker informed me a lot of bars close in October as the tourist season ends and won't reopen until March. If you need time out or The Great Escape, Albufeira is the place to go. If I win the lottery I would buy a villa there. I ❤ u Albufeira, already looking forward to my next visit.
