Cãmara Municipal (+) - this is the nearest stop to the old town centre and beach area, about 5 minutes walk down the hill or wait for Giro route10. Map here.
Giro Route 6 is the quickest way back to the bus station from Montechoro. Route 6 also goes from Montechoro to Albufeira Terrace Shopping a different way.
