Thanks for your video of Praia da Ouro and the strip,we have enjoyed 25 fabulous holidays there,but I haven't been back since 2016 after my wife passed away.We first went there in 1988 and hopefully I'll make it back again. You've cheered me up this morning watching the video.God bless.💚
Thank you so much for all your videos been watching them over and over. Going to Algarve in the coming weeks your videos have been very informative and helpful . Cheers. 🍺
Thanks for sharing Kevin.. Def a trip down memory lane for me.. The cottage is lovely for food.. At the end of your video to your left is a great little pastry shop very cheap for coffee like 60 cents & little further down Clay Oven Indian.. So nice 🙂
At the end of the strip where you finished the vlog on the left hand side about 100 mtrs is the best Indian restaurant in albufera called the " clay oven," absolutely gorgeous . And the Chinese at the start of your walk "the golden garden " is the best I've been to anywhere great eating places in albufera ..
Love your videos this brings back memories for me over the years but it has changed some restaurants and shops are different,I have been there 3 times,hope to go back next year, keep up the good videos, Irish subscriber
Loving the Albufeira vlogs. There is a street a (fair) bit further along from the strip called Rua de Dunfermline so I always feel at home in Albufeira! 😆
Great to see your videos as it shows the Resorts as they are and not as we imagine them to be! Had no idea Albufeira was such a party place!! Ok for the youngsters and those that love to party but we prefer a quieter sort of resort so the old town probably more suited to us.
Hi Kevin, brilliant memories for us there. The Scots Rock Cafe was the maddest Rangers bar in Portugal, we went for 17 years on the trot before changing to Tenerife.
I last went to Portugal in 2002 and am wondering how it has changed since then. I also went to Tenerife in 2014. Did you start going to Tenerife instead of Portugal since you thought it was better (obviously the winter weather is better in Tenerife) ? If so, how is Tenerife better than Albuferia ?
Me and the missis have had some amazing nights on the strip. The Irish bar at the end of the video used to be Lineker's and the mexican place was Cafe del mar. Mambo's is a great bar. On one trip we were being picked up from the hotel for flight home at 7-30 am, we were still in Albertus at 4-30, Gilly the then owner just wouldn't let us go. We made the flight but I was still legless when we arrived back at East Midlands. Some great memories of the place. Thanks for the vlog.
Been there many times. That area is primarily for the young people. If you want a more relaxed time, go to the Old town (Fisherman's Beach). You can catch a little train by the top of that road that shuttles you between the old Strip & the New strip for a Fiver. Fantastic video by the way.
Hi Kevin, i really like your videos very good content. I remember staying in Portugal in the mid eighties in a resort called Armacao de Pera, not that far from Albufeira. I remember going to a cabaret nightclub called Michaels, beside Hotel Montechoro which was in a big circus style tent. The area then was very desolate with little there except for desert style wasteland, completely changed now, lol. I've been told that the venue is no longer there and in it's place is an Irish bar.
Un real looks completely different was quiet place before Canadians would go for winter few months out 30 below freezing weather it’s jumping to get to beach it was giant hill cardiac hill bad did once enough water cold april nice day cool night
Stayed in hotel Aldeia last summer, it wasn't bad, small old fashioned room. Out the back a beautiful big pool and also crazy golf! Breakfast buffet included was good as well. I really want to try Golden garden Chinese heard many recommendations.
Hi Kevin, had a few good nights on the strip with a golfing society, and, driving there from London to play golf and watch the euros in the early 2000's. That's all I dare tell you...😆
I’m going here in June with 4 other mates. Will the strip/nightlife still be busy at that time as I’m assuming July is peak season? Any info would be helpful.
@@ScotsmaninTenerife Because im going In june, do you think it will be as busy as July time? Im going June 15 - 21. I’m not overly fussed providing there’s still a lot of people.
Thanks for the vid. Never been before usually go Magaluf and now this is swaying me. Is the strip close to the beach? How far is the airport transfer. Thanks
Not specifically related but what are 4 good locations for 20 year old lads to go party(nightclubs bars and strips) and have stuff to do during the day, cheers
Due in Portugal in a couple of weeks time but staying in the old town this time . The strip has deffo gone up in price since we were there last in 2020 , Those two bars at the end of the strip it was £2.00 a pint until 6.00pm just over a year ago . And yes it gets just a little bit louder after 11.00 pm ! Had a ride on those trike things most nights into the old town , it was ten euros to the old town from the start of the strip in the new town near the traffic island I would imagine its more now though . Great fun
Went to Albufeira as a 16 year old in 1988......my God this has changed....! All I recall is the name of the Hotel bar we stayed in (The Blue Bar), Sgt. Peppers, and a twenty minute walk to KISS nightclub....! 😆🤷🏼♂️
Always go to Benidorm but looking for somewhere else to go due to hostility of Spanish towards British tourists. Are the people better as I've heard? Are there many tribute acts? Thanks.
To be honest I visited the strip last night I'm in Portugal old town on holiday and haven't been to the strip for 10 years . I was shocked to find drunk teenagers everywhere shouting with bottles of beer on there hand. Not the strip I once new with people from all over the world visiting. We left after 15 minutes back to the old town classy and we'll behaved multi cultured folk of all ages. The strip was a let down.
We were there during the euros final. We went to jinkys to watch it. Little celtic bar, to stay away from the english and the inevitable trouble after it
We were there when you were 🤣 very pricey compared to Tenerife. We stayed in Tenerife for a month and nearly spent the same amount of money in 10 days than what we did in one month in Tenerife
the strip in albufeira is quite calm and laid back compared to magaluf, benidorm, kavos etc although avoid the very top end because that's where the 'special girls' are run..!
Cheap tacky holiday dreadful. Can’t put it into words it’s like Yarmouth flashing lights all cheap food and booze cheap shops, that’s not a holiday it’s a cheap seaside resort in the sun. What a shame
Thanks for Watching !

I love the cobblestone streets here and in Lisbon. So special 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹 love from Germany 🇩🇪
At the top of the strip turn left and around 500 yards on the left. Indian restaurant called the clay oven. One of the best Indians I’ve had! Amazing
Great video Kevin. I didn’t imagine Albufeira to be so lively.
thanks
Was there 2 weeks ago. Hired a villa for the week about 10 min walk from old and new town. Great spot. Helpful video for anyone going, good job.👍
thanks
Looks great, deffo considering a wee trip there

And the Chinese at the start of your walk "the golden garden " is the best I've been to anywhere great eating places in albufera ..
I did pass the clay oven later on it was very busy.
I do want to open an indian restaurant there,let's hope I am able to do that.

Well Kevin the strip has not changed much from twenty years ago. Nice to see it all again thanks.

Think the old town looks better...bit classier

Looks good going here on Monday can't wait
Have fun!
We are just back. Loved it.

Nice one wee man
What month was this in? About to book for late March just wondering what it will be like.
It was June. Don't think many places open in March on strip but not been at that time.
I’m going here in June with 4 other mates. Will the strip/nightlife still be busy at that time as I’m assuming July is peak season? Any info would be helpful.
Yip July busy

@@ihavenoname1917 it’ll be busy
Thanks for the vid. Never been before usually go Magaluf and now this is swaying me. Is the strip close to the beach? How far is the airport transfer. Thanks
Transfer maybe hour , beaches are close . The old town has lots of bars too , it's a good mix .
Scotsman, do you know if you can get cider there ??? Like magners or strongbow??
Yip for sure
@@ScotsmaninTenerife thanks scotsman👍 my wife and I are thinking of going here next summer, I'm wondering roughly what prices the cider is??..

still 10 euros !
what time was it when you took the video ? looks nice . does old town have as much cafes,bars etc is it just as busy? .
About 830pm gets lot busier later, old town has more bars .
@@ScotsmaninTenerife cool thxs
If you walk the opposite way to where you're walking there's a beach right at the bottom. Great memories of there.
What’s the safest way to get back to hotel after a night out ? Do taxis run late ?
Yip taxi
Did you make a video of the marina in albuferia? Thanks was wondering what it’s like for children
so what side did you prefer old or new town? . and why, what side is the cheapest?. love the videos of everywhere keep them up thxs .
thanks, prefer old town but can jump into new town if you fancy a night on the strip.
Albufeira 66 is definitely the place to be - music and atmosphere is great in there on the night.
Went to Albufeira as a 16 year old in 1988......my God this has changed....!
All I recall is the name of the Hotel bar we stayed in (The Blue Bar), Sgt. Peppers, and a twenty minute walk to KISS nightclub....! 😆🤷🏼♂️
Always go to Benidorm but looking for somewhere else to go due to hostility of Spanish towards British tourists. Are the people better as I've heard? Are there many tribute acts? Thanks.
Can you do a video of the steps leading to the beach in albufeira,are they still there?thanks
done a few coming soon.
The stairs were changed to an escalator years ago, they used to be called the cardiac steps.
Do you know how strict they are with id bringing my 16 year old son out in a week and just want to know.
i love albufeira it’s my favourite place
Kevin you crack me up with your Wit !!!
Lol
Looks an ideal place if you're in your 20's, but I'm now 52 so best to give it a swerve, good video though!
Does try them apartments Kevin probably be 18 30 but absolutely love the vlogs of alberfiro 👍👍👍
thanks
To be honest I visited the strip last night I'm in Portugal old town on holiday and haven't been to the strip for 10 years . I was shocked to find drunk teenagers everywhere shouting with bottles of beer on there hand. Not the strip I once new with people from all over the world visiting.

We were there during the euros final. We went to jinkys to watch it. Little celtic bar, to stay away from the english and the inevitable trouble after it
Hi Kevin, is the strip reasonably flat or are there any hills?
wee bit hilly.
We were there when you were 🤣 very pricey compared to Tenerife. We stayed in Tenerife for a month and nearly spent the same amount of money in 10 days than what we did in one month in Tenerife
Hello, full of tourists now there?
I'm sure the Irish pub at the end used to be a celtic pub called Jinkys
That's still there was to the left side
Nice video 👍🏻
Can u recommend any tapas places new or old town???? @scotsman in tenerife
Few up near church.
El Rancho is amazing..Meat sooo nice
Wheres the strip?
On the video lol
Amazing
Long live britain
And I’m Portuguese
Do you only stay there for three month???
was in Algarve for 5 days.
Stayed at our Atlantic shaped like ship was out balcony facing hill to beach two hotels facing built up a lot was the 16 years
the strip in albufeira is quite calm and laid back compared to magaluf, benidorm, kavos etc although avoid the very top end because that's where the 'special girls' are run..!
newyear in the old town all night drinking value for money
Can you recommend car hire places
sorry not sure
Way more bars than in praia da rocha
Mambo bar was were most of crazy shit used happen after night time 😂even all along that whole strip
Is albufeira good for 20 a group of 29 year old lads looking for a party ? Plenty of nightclubs there etc ?
Lots late night bars on strip and few in old town , if u have budget go to big clubs in Ibiza but albufeira is decent.
@@ScotsmaninTenerife just booked up for Albufeira
@@Ethan-ow7pz enjoy !
ethan how was albufeira
@@hamzamohammed5631 haven’t been yet, few more weeks
Where’s a good place to holiday with a young family not to many drunks about 👍🏻🏴
Few family hotels near Old town. Other places alcudia majorca
Wild & Co., dearest bar in the World, Sizzling Stone is great!
Was bit Scottish restaurant we’d go for Sunday dinner lol
This looks like the Big Market owa the toon
Where’s the brass house?
Albufeira 66 bar, double the drink prices of ALL other bars
That strip gives me the Fear after a few rough nights on it
This place looks like Blackpool with sunshine holiday hell.
To many brits
It's becoming like Spain.
😎👍🏻
Do more lives wee man
Loving your comments and getting new subscribers fair play to you Kevin you will learn hiw to say yes at some point 😃😃😃😃😃😃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
I will come back.
This accent is wild
Avoid at all cost. Strip.. ugly place. Old town is much better.
Just got back and wasn’t impressed, the area isn’t what I expected or how it’s described.
old town is nicer than the strip
Be careful with music your vid will get monetised and you will get nothing
Yip I had to edit this.
Must admit it’s gone really down hill. It’s like a cheap Blackpool lost all its charm. Horrid
Looked OK to me lol but we all like different things the old town just down the road check out those videos u might like it there. Thanks.
Bay car Cheney american
OMG that's awful! We'll stick to the old town if we go thanks 🙄
I couldn't see an Indian :(
In old town and a few around the corner here
Cheap tacky holiday dreadful. Can’t put it into words it’s like Yarmouth flashing lights all cheap food and booze cheap shops, that’s not a holiday it’s a cheap seaside resort in the sun. What a shame
It's different than old town but more aimed at the younger ones , it's defo not cheap compared to other resorts
what are you talking about? That’s such a great place to have fun on holidays, it’s obviously not a historical thing it’s a party destination.
Absolutely wrong, it’s got something for everyone, don’t knock it till you try it.
