Albufeira - WARNING Avoid Coming Here After 7pm........
Albufeira Old Town Algarve Portugal showing you my accomodation I never made on the first night but there was a wee catch if you are checking in after 7pm be careful it will cost you more money. Filmed June 2022.

Thanks for the upload brother, I was here in 2013 /loved the old town, not so keen on the new, real nice holiday and great beaches. Also found the Portuguese really friendly.
Very impressed Kevin, been watching all your Portugal walk. Really fancy it

WOW! Love that music choice 👌.
Preferred it when it was just a small fishing village, but then I’m now just about prehistoric.
Great video kev as usual enjoyed the music albufeira looks very lively which is one of the things I look for in a holiday I like nightlife thanks for the information about over charging for accommodation you could be so easily caught out particularly if you are an inexperienced holiday maker and as you mentioned in your video take your time and carefully read and study the small print before proceeding any further always be on your guard as long as you do you should be fine trust your instincts I've never been to Portugal but am thinking of doing so keep up with your great work and don't forget to keep those excellent videos of yours coming Thank you Kevin greetings from Swansea South Wales UK

The only thing you need to avoid after 7 in Albuferia is that strip you were on. Full of hammered stag and golf outings. Haha
Been there 3 times an planning going bk this September. Love the place. 🎉
Albufeira Old Town is my favourite holiday destination. Beaches, bars, and restaurants are all good.

We’ve not heard catch the wave for a while, I’ve missed it, I wouldn’t want to stay in a hostel with all the snoring including me, it looks a nice place there Kevin
Loved hearing the Velvet Moon track, good stuff.👍🏻 What a blooming cheek trying to charge extra, after all how many people actually manage to get to their accommodation by 7pm? Thanks for making us all aware to look out for the small print Kevin, great info as always☺️

Does fire station in old town still cook lunch for you did years ago
The best thing about Albufeira old town is the live music in the main square. There is The Rock Bar, but 2 or 3 others and they are all good. The beer is more expensive than the less touristy areas, but still cheaper than the UK. I think I pay about €4.50 for a pint of Super Bock. I have been charged extra for a late pick up of a car, and I think it is because they have to pay the staff overtime to stay on beyond the normal hours.
Great vlog Kev. There on the 27th Dec for a week and looking forward toit .cheers

Fantastic. Is Algarve, Portugal
It is a shame they changed the square as it used to have more character , it was raised in the centre so I suppose in one way it is safer for children and older people . It was dug up because they enlarged the drainage pipes because as climate has increased rain (not often) the drains could not handle the amount and rubbish bins floated down to the sea. There is so much to see in the square and surrounding streets though . Your videos are very good by the way I watch them all.

Hiya Mate, Feel your videos are very good & Informative. Know the place like the back of my hand, Walk this route every morning for my beach walk, All year round. Keep up the good work son & expose the little cons you find. In General tho I have found over the 20 years we have been involved with Portugal, the cons are very rare if you have ya wits about ya, Moral of the story "dont get off ya face or Gassed up & lose all ya senses. " all the best XXX

Hi Kevin. Is Albufeira more for the younger crowd or is it suitable for me and my wife. We are mid to late 60s.Looking for somewhere different next year. If its not suitable for our age is there anywhere you can recommend. Usually go to Tha Canary Islands.

45 years ago, this was a charming little fishing village. Now it’s the Blackpool of the Algarve. Horrible place.

My wife and I are just back from albufeira. We spent two weeks their. And I have to say I have never been to a place where there were so many gangs of older men getting drunk all day . The wife and I are not old fuddy duddies and like live bands but this place was just a racket .I think they were trying to see who could be the loudest and the karaoke place was just round the corner from the square was even worse .

Bit of a walk between old and new town , not been at that time but don't think it will be that busy as weather can be hit and miss , weather wise Tenerife better normally at that time. If u want to risk weather Benidorm can't be beat for live music .

We went to Benidorm in March and had non stop rain, freak weather that they had and we were there 😬🤣 We wanted somewhere similar so was looking at Torremolinos, Albufeira or one of the Canaries. We're already going to Puerto Del Carmen, Lanzarote in April so can't go there 🤷♀️😊

Albufeira is not for budgeting tourism...that tourist has to go more inland, not step in the bars and restaurants, after clearly seeing the prices on the menu and then proceed to make a scene, demanding managers and discounts because yes... or if you are lucky enough just get an attitude filled observation of how high the prices are and blah blah...i eat a 3 course meal for 10€ in Albufeira too...but nowhere near the beach. I'd rather stay home if i can not properly afford to go on holidays and just keep complaining.
