As promised, this blog post brings you Portugal - part 2. Everyone has different ideas of what they believe is a good holiday, personally I think Albuferia had a lot to offer, whether you're on holiday with the family, your pals or a partner! Below we've featured a series of snippets from the Holiday.. reflecting back has one of us really wanting to go back ASAP but I guess South Wales will do for now..
The apartment was situated in-between New town and Old town, Albufeira, and the latter was definitely the go-to-spot day and night with the cool yet refreshing Atlantic Ocean outlining the Old town square beautifully. The area featured a sandy golden beach (where many times were spent collecting Little Mermaid style sea shells. There is also the freedom to wander upon the boulders and rocks along the cliff side to get a closer view of the wild waves. Many hours should be strolled around this idyllic area of Albufeira.
Definitely the highlight of the holiday, the ZOO-MARINE. Home to a mix of marine animals, exotic birds and water rides (oh and delicious crepes). Highly recommended for all ages, thanks to the range of attractions including the hilaaarious sea lions capturing our hearts *yes they broke/brake danced to LMFAO* It's so easy to spend an entire day here too! If you're in the area go go go!
It would be rude not to take a few hours to soak up the Portuguese sun poolside at the hotel, wouldn't it? Especially as it made exam revision much more bearable, oh the joys of university! (Apologies for the predictable 'hot dog legs' shot but, when in Albufeira..)
I will definitely be making a return to the area, visiting more attractions (like Lagos Zoo) and on the search for quaint and traditional Portuguese villages to explore!
Ciao y obrigado!
