Golf Vacation in Albufeira

Albufeira in Portugal's Algarve is a popular vacation destination. You can get a taste of the best of Portuguese golf on offer at Salgados, where you get to pit your skills against a good number of water hazards, as well as a recurrent on-shore breeze. At Balaia you have a 9 hole course that tests your short game and direction skills. Another golf course worth visiting is pine Cliffs, or Devils Parlour, as you may join the locals in calling it depending on your experiences there.

Attraction of Albufeira The Albufeira Church of Sao Sebastiao on Praca Miguel Bombarda with its tall bell tower is a landmark not to be missed. The art work of local artist Samora Barros takes pride of place over the altar. The Albufeira Castle is another attraction reminiscent of the towns Moorish connections. For a day of family fun it would have to be the Zoo Marine, where besides the wildlife on show, you have a fairground, restaurants and plenty of space for a good old picnic.

Beautiful Beaches Other than the golf courses, you would probably want to spend a considerable amount of time at the beach. Fishermans beach is rather crowded, but you may just find some space away from the volleyball court that seems to attract all the attention. You may opt for West beach which is a little less crowded. The marina beach is another option with a whole lot of different possibilities, such as snorkelling and swimming among the various coves and rock formations. If youd prefer to be far from the madding crowd, head straight for Carvoeiro beach with its silent stretches and sentinel-like cliffs making sure you are not disturbed.

Dining in Albufeira If you are a sea-food aficionado, you have come to the right place. The freshest of catches, cooked to perfection in divine permutations and combinations, is served with a friendly and cheerful demeanour. The baffling variety may prove confusing, but you cant go wrong with the Cataplana or the Shellfish rice. It is not as if meat dishes are not available. You have items like the Piri Piri Chicken which is rather popular, but the seafood menu is simply overwhelming. You can of course, work it all off on the golf course the next day.

Getting Around in Albufeira Since theres so much to see and do, it would be a good idea to have your own vehicle. You can easily hire a car of your choice, online at Your-Carhire.com - specialists in Portugal car rental services and ensure a happy vacation for you and your family.
