Albufeira is able to cater for the two extremes of tourists (families and party holidays) as there are two very separate areas of the town; the Old Town and The Strip (New Town). The Old Town is the historic centre of Albufeira and is a series of traditional Portuguese streets and plazas, filled with family-friendly restaurants and shops. This district opens out on the Praia dos Pescadores beach, a calm and sheltered beach suitable for families and children. More information: www.algarve-tourist.com
