Cámara (City Hall) and Centro Antigo/Old Town Rua Alves Correeia - if boarding here please note that the buses in both directions stop within a minute or two of each other and sometimes appear in the 'wrong' order.

There is no indication on the bus to tell you which direction it is going, so ask the driver. They don't mind. They are as frustrated as everyone with the lack of information.

TIMETABLE NOTES

§§ this is the stop on the main road outside the Albufeira Shopping Centre (Continente supermarket) and opposite the Pingo Doce supermarket,. McDonald's, KFC etc.
** 'The 'Worms' roundabout; outside another PINGO DOCE supermarket  %% Nearest stop to the Oura Praia Hotel and CPO
^^ The buses at 0949, 1149 and every TWO hours until 1949 take a slight diversion after this and stop further along Rua António Alexio (outside Cerro Mar Garden) and in Rua Malpique.
The NEXT stop for all buses is almost outside ALDI supermarket and across the road from LIDL supermarket.
