My best effort to show the area with
its shops, restaurants, cafés and bars.
These buses to Albufeira through Salgados, Galé, Sesmarais and São
Rafael run via the Marina to Albufeira at the Statue of St.
Vincent, which is a short walk down to the old town, then it goes
to the main bus station.
Bus 8 in the opposite direction stops in the Avenida do Ténis, a
short walk but uphill from the old town centre. Buses 7 and 8 do
NOT go down into the old town!
The other buses are a very infrequent service on VAMUS route 13
between Albufeira and Portimão via Lagoa. Times here.
All the information on the map was
correct for the summer 2023. It will be checked again in time for
summer 2024. Some restaurants are open only in the evenings. Many
are closed during winter, please check!
Click the map for full size. NB not
all beach bars are shown. The larger supermarkets are open all day
every day except 25th December and January 1st.
Opening hours at mini-markets vary but most, if not all, open all
day in summer at least. I do not include facilities inside hotels
or resort complexes that may not be available to non-guests
