I fly to Faro on Sat 17th. 2hrs remains from my Home in Belfast. And as I've already stayed in Tavira, Faro, Vilamoura, Quarteria, Ferragudo, Praia Da Rocha, Alvor &Lagos... Over the past few years. Ive decided to try, Olhao. Around 20 mins drive from the Airport. It looks Beautiful. And has a Train Station, right in the City. You Two will probably have returned Home, by then. Love your Algarve Vlogs on KZbin. Take Care... George.

My wife and I have a home in Albufeira. Always impressed how the local government invests back in the community. As others have mentioned, there is much, much more to Albufeira than a bar scene. In fact there is essentially something for everyone, whatever your interest. Another huge bonus for us is that virtually any service you need is within walking distance! That is truly a lifestyle changing attribute.

We are just leaving Albufeira after a 1 week stay. Thank you for your videos. My husband and I are almost retired and your videos convinced us to visit on our vacation to explore The Algarve for a place to go in the winter. We did arrive during the very rare tropical storm last week and even though the weather has not been as sunny, we enjoyed exploring Albufeira (our home base), Sagres, Lagos, and Portimao. We kept looking for you at the Albufeira Terrace and on the beach! We were not as fortunate as others from the comments 😂. Just a quick question , why did you choose Albufeira over Lagos and Portimao (both we liked as well)? We look forward every weekend to watching your latest video. Thank you and Happy Valentines Day from another southern Ontario couple!

You're doing a good job of rebranding Albufeira as a more desirable base for the Algarve. It's reputation for being a party town infested with drunken foreigners kept me far, far away from there last time I visited. I now see that it there is much more to the place than that single aspect. Great video and you're not lying about the blue sky, wow!

My husband and I were there last year, and don't recall those steps going down the cliff. I'll have to go back and look at my videos. Your last shot on the beach looking up is where we stay at Cerro Blanco. Almost two months March and April are 2400 Euro. So affordable for a beautiful spot.

I also remember the old stairs they were not very safe at all, loving the new ones. At times one had to walk down or up because the elevator did not work. The more I see of your videos the more I want to move there for good. Albufeira is so central you can be in Lisboa or Sevilla in under 4 hours. Be safe and keep the videos coming. The renovated Continente mall is beautiful…….🤗🇨🇦

Hi. Have the prices increased significantly within last 18-24 months? My main concern is the accomodation, even in the off season. I read the war has brought a lot of Russians/Ukrainians into the region, so difficult to find something reasonably priced on the Airbnb even during the winter. What is your experience ?

Hotel prices are more and rising again for next year, we mean the aparthotels that we stay in. Some people we have met said they got Airbnb apartments for €800 per month but we couldn’t find any, the going rate seems to be €1500 to €2000 for a one bedroom. Good luck

Regarding Burger King and Taco Bell, I travelled to a few countries in the last year and noticed the spread of US chains like Burger King, KFC, Taco Bell in countries like Albania, Dominican Republic, Croatia, and of course France, Spain. I just wish they would open more Taco Bells and Burger King locations in Toronto. Plus in some countries you get beer with your combo - for the same price as a coke!
