The origins of Albufeira are unknown, but everything suggests that the region was already populated in prehistoric times and that the place where the city stands today would have been, some centuries before our era, an important settlement with its seaport.

The primitive settlement was occupied by the Romans who named it Baltum. They introduced a centralized administrative organization and developed an intense agricultural and commercial activity. They built aqueducts, roads and bridges of which vestiges still exist today.

The place-name Albufeira comes from the Arabic name ’Al-buhera’ which means ’castle of the sea’, a reason that may be linked to the proximity of the ocean and/or the lagoon that formed in the lower part of the town. The Arabs built solid defensive fortifications, making it almost impregnable, which to some extent was not unfounded, because Albufeira was one of the squares that the Arabs kept in their power for the longest time. The development of agriculture was remarkable and there was the introduction of new techniques and new cultures. The Arabs already used plows and fertilizers, as well as water-wheels for raising water in wells. They introduced new irrigation systems in the fields, highlighting the dams and levadas, thus transforming uncultivated areas into vegetable gardens and orchards.

When D. Afonso III occupied the throne, part of the Algarve had already fallen to the Christians. Templars and Hospitallers, military orders that helped in the Reconquest, frequently raided the lands that were still under Arab rule, but always stopped in front of the strong walls of Albufeira. Only after Faro was taken did the situation in Albufeira become unsustainable.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, the square fell to D. Afonso III, who immediately donated it to the Order of Aviz.

The Moors were so persecuted that only those who fled and took refuge in a cave, called Cova do Xorino, located under the rocks delimiting the city on the south side, escaped the fury of the victors.

In the reign of King Manuel I, the town had already regained its former importance, as this monarch granted it a charter on August 20,1504.

Albufeira was among the Algarve cities the most punished by natural cataclysms. But it was the earthquake that caused the most damage. The sea invaded the village with waves that reached 10m in height, destroying almost all the buildings, with only 27 houses left standing and these very ruined.

The Igreja Matriz, a former Arab mosque adapted to Christian worship, where the population had taken refuge, asking for mercy, collapsed, causing 227 victims. After this earthquake, the entire Algarve continued to suffer violent shocks until August 20 of the following year, which did not prevent the immediate start of reconstruction work by order of Bishop D. Francisco Gomes de Avelar.

In 1833, during the civil war between absolutists and liberals, Albufeira was surrounded and attacked by soldiers from Remexido: an absolutist popular leader who deeply damaged the town and executed a large number of its inhabitants.

In the first decades of the 20th century there was a sharp increase in the export of fish and nuts. The village then had five factories employing 700 to 800 people, mainly fishermen’s wives.

From 1930 to 1960 there were times of decay, fishing frames were ruined, factories closed, boats disappeared and many

Arguably the Algarve’s most famous destination - The Albufeira municipality covers a larger area than some people may expect ranging from Olhos D Agua in the East all the way to Gale and the border of Pera in the West and north past Guia and up to Paderne.

The two main focal points are the ’ old Town ’ in the center and the area developed in the late 1980’s and known as either the ’ new Albufeira ’ or more commonly the ’ strip ’

The ’ old Town’ dates back to the times of the Romans and the Arabs. The latter occupied the area in the 7th century and parts of its castle and Moorish fort walls still stand today. The word ’ AL bufeira ’ derives from the Arabic word ’ west ’ and was originally known as ’ Albuhera ’

The old town retains much of its historic charm with narrow white cobbled streets meandering from the central square through lanes with trendy open air bars, buskers, street vendors and a plethora of the Traditional Portuguese to internationally acclaimed restaurants - From the local eateries serving the extremely popular ’ bifana ’ ( a pork steak sandwich ) to Michelin starred restaurants, the variety is a food paradise! Museums and gallerias blend seamlessly amongst the holiday makers and locals soaking up its vibrant heart

A short walk from the main square will take you through the tunnel and onto one of the worlds most photographed beaches - ’ Praia Dos Pescadores ’ The fishermen’s beach - Brightly coloured boats are now located and moored in the equally brightly coloured Marina which is well worth a short walk around the point.

Aside from the local fishing boats who still venture out at night to catch the produce served in the restaurants and hotels the following day, you can also enjoy the splendour of the 400 individual yachts and boats berthed there. Numerous water sport actitives are available from speed boats and paragliding to trips to the must see stunning caves and Dolphin watching.

The ’ strip ’ area developed its nickname from the long straight 2km road that is lined with bars, clubs, restaurants, discos, cafes that ultimately lead to the Praia D’ Oura beach. Its here where you find a faster pace of evening with numerous bars featuring house, garage, techno music against he more sedate atmosphere of the old town

With a permanent residencial population of 45,000 divided between 4 council areas this expends to almost 500,000 in the peak summer months showcasing its popularity - however if this sounds too frantic or busy you also have the options of the beautiful beach towns and villages of Olhos D Agua, Balaia, Sao Rafael, Castelo, Gale all on your doorstep.

Excellent detached villa located in a quiet area of Albufeira near the beach and all commerce such as restaurants, supermarkets and all the services you may need. The center of Albufeira is five minutes by car and twenty-five kms from faro airport
