@bett1e have a great time!
Looks like the Benidorm of Portugal (maybe not as extreme): a brash and bustling bar/club scene but plenty of more sophisticated attractions too. What constitutes the "off season"? I know Albufeira is a popular winter destination for the older crowd, when the Strip is, presumably, in hibernation.

A great time to go would be March to May and September to October. Picture perfect weather at those times. Lesser tourist numbers and the nice restaurants are in full swing
This is great. Thanks for sharing. When you said off season which month of the year did you visit? I am planing to visit this November hoping the it would still be sunny and warm.

Hi there, we visited the last week of April, which together with Autumn is an ideal time, as its far less busy. The weather in November will be about 21c 70f. We have been in the Algarve slightly later, in December and it's still very pleasant.
Loved the video, especially the restaurant with the Cataplana. We visited in early March this year. That was really off-season ! A lot of restaurants still closed and boarded up. What month did you visit ?

The wife and I have just returned on Monday from abuferia .we are not old fuddy duddies and like our music but the old town was just a rabbel every place that had a band or music was playing it a full blast and trying to drown each other out .and I have never seen so many gangs of men not teenagers but older men who were drunk and loud in my life .we will never go back again .

Why don't you go to the real Algarve? Like Cacela Velha, Cabanas de Tavira, Tavira, Santa Luzia........or the other way towards Sagres.
I guess everyone is different but I recently went to Albufeira to see if it was as bad as I thought. It was worse! Portuguese Blackpool.
Not gonna comment on the video but about the narration. You surely know how to narate a video. What I would call I golden voice.

Hi, it certainly shouldn't be party Central then! But some of the eateries may be closed for the season. Should have a nice festive feel at that time.
Destination for the month of March 2025. No more of this Nova Scotia winter bullshit. Give me that baccalau every day in the sunshine.

Hi there, yes I'm afraid most likely the beaches will be packed, but the closer you go to the end the better, as a lot of the European schools start going back into session
