The former little white fishing village of Albufeira, now densely developed beneath a sea of apartments and mid-rise blocks, is the region's most popular resort.
The pretty Old Town is wall-to-wall restaurants and bars, though some local establishments and residential areas still remain.
Its picture-postcard Fisherman's Beach, with spectacular ochre cliffs and rock stacks, remains an iconic, albeit often very crowded, Algarve sight.
