Albufeira is a beach town west of Villamora.
This is the town of Albufeira looking east from the top of a cliff about 50 feet above the beach. The crane on the horizon symbolizes the new construction. Albufeira is a combination of old and new, while the Villamora marina was all new.
Below the cliff is a beach to the east and a pier running south. This view is of the town from the end of the pier.
Looking down from the pier, here are some algae-covered rocks in the tidal zone.
As we stood on the beach, this airplane flew over towing a sign that proclaims, in English,
"Bullfight - Albufeira Today 17H30."
From the end of the pier, the cliff is visible straight ahead.
These traps were stacked along the beach
Fishing gear was stuffed into this boat.
A study in the old and the new, the Portugese and the foreign
The mosaic is distinctive with pattern of the individual rocks along an axis diagonal to the larger white and black areas.
The same rock mosaic pattern is used as the paving along this alley.
