  • Albufeira Old town Portugal algarve showing you some of the restaurant menus and drink prices . Albufeira is pretty affordable but is more expensive than mainland Spain and most of the Canary Islands. Filmed June 2002.

    Love Albufeira Old town. Not as cheap as Tenerife but still good value and what you get for your money is always excellent. The Strip is a bit of a dump though.

    I have to say that the prices are pretty comparable to California in that area for the most part. Possibly approaching Lake Tahoe prices. All that food looks pretty darn good though

    I’ve been to Albuferia two times and going again this fall. Yes there are tons of good restaurants there is one that really stood out on a side street from Ave de Liberdade with Brazilian food excellent meals reasonable prices. The owner is super fun and very friendly. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your videos.

    The Portuguese live for food, their main conversation is all about where and what they are going to eat next. If you think the French are world champs at camping out in Restaurants, forget it the Portuguese are more skilled eat for longer the portions can be 30% larger than most traditional restaurant than France. I am not surprised there are few €9.49 three course deals, it's not something any local would go for. You have to look for places that have set priced 'all you can eat' deals, yet expect to wait between servings, in Portugal there is never ever any hurry over food.

    Been watching on and off for a while now kev, and just subscribed. Lovely to see the old town, and those prices are comparable. It's definitely not Tenerife/Benidorm pricing, but looks a lovely place to visit.

    Just been here and there's nothing cultural or Portuguese about albufeira - it's Britain abroad pretty much - the food in most places is bland with no flavour. Lagos is much more Portuguese and cultural where you can actually experience culture

    Hi Kevin, went to book my apartment for next year in Albufeira with Airbnb and I booked, only to get my booking cancelled, because they have not updated next year's prices, ( I thought they should have accepted price shown) anyway I got an email next day with updated price, DOUBLED the price, shocking, so folk beware, prices are shooting up, it's lovely Albufeira, but pricing itself out for me.

    Hi Kevin, I'm the one who told you about the "secret garden." You had to go upstairs in through the pub behind the Tattoo Club. Kay's saying it maybe closed down becsuse of covid.
    It had a big TV screen for the footie and there was a lovely wee girl who used to play the acoustic guitar....
    Shame if it's closed

    Kevin your vlogs are brilliant. Thought about going to Portugal, so your videos have been helpful. Just been ripped off in Amanda's in Tenerife. nearly 50 euros for 2 bottles of white wine, our fault should have read menu better. Their menu is the only one that doesn't show price for full bottle, its actually 3/4 last price. 🤪
