    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.

    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.

    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

    Is it easy walk between old and new town?
    How will it be last week of March? ☺️

      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.
