Albufeira October 2009
Posted: Tue June 30, 2009 12:55 PM UTC
Hi
5 of us are thinking of going to Albuferia in October 2009, just wondering if its still busy? Whats the nightlife like? Going there for the nightlife, so wanted to check everythings still buzzing & not shut down!
Also, can anyone recommend any hotels that are right near "The Strip"?
Thanks x

Depends when - early and mid October is still fairly busy but things tend to wind down after the UK half term holidays. Sure a lot of places may be closed even early October, that depends on business. You will still have plenty of choice. There is a permanent population of around 19,000 so we have to go out somewhere.

Hotel wise, anything with the word 'Oura' in it will be fairly close to the strip, as are Vila Nova, Valmangude Jardim and Tropical Sol.

I find that the night life there is alright, but was disappointed to see the throng of british tourists and bars (no offense, guys, just telling you what i saw!) and hearing english spoken in every single corner i turn. Just thought I'll see a bit more portuguese stuff happening - then again, maybe my host didn't show me enough ;)

Though alternatively it means that everything is quite accessible and people are friendly for sure. Oct 2009 might be a bit cold already for really hot beach weather if thats what you are looking for. In Albufeira, I also recommend renting a car, or bikes- will be easier to go around places.
