I am in Albufeira right now. Am in my last week of a five week stay. This is our fourth visit and the weather has been the best ever. Sunny and 22 or more every day. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦lots of Canadians here in January, February and March escaping the Canadian winter. Lucky us!
That is awesome! we were unable to be there this year we had some medical issues to attend to , hopefully next Year enjoy the rest of your stay Margaret Cheers 🇵🇹🍷🇨🇦🌺❤️
Just curious how did you find the cost of your accommodation this year we have heard that prices have up a lot since we were there in 2020 , do you mind sharing who you booked through Cheers 🇵🇹🙂
Hello my dear friends!! Another wonderful sunny day in Lovely Portugal!! So nice walking with you along beautiful Albufeira!! It seems to be there with you!! Full and enjoyable view as always!! All the best and have a wonderful weejend! See you!! Renata
Hi Renata thanks for joining us on your Saturday it must be lunchtime with you we have just had breakfast 🍳. We just love the gorgeous weather and blue skies gives us a break from the ❄️. Have an awesome weekend cheers 👍🍷🌺Norm and Tina 😎
Love watching your channel. I love the Algarve and watch UA-cam videos through the winter which just helps start a Saturday with a bit of sunshine. And I'm glad I found your posts some time ago. Have a great day. Greetings from stormy Britain!
Good morning Carol thanks for watching our channel we are glad you enjoy it, we have watched your weather and not only Storm Dennis you had another one the week before. The flooding looks awful and imagine the rain ☔️ is hard day after day . One of the reasons we go to the Algarve is those gorgeous blue skies to wake up to which gives us a break from the ❄️ ⛄️ Enjoy your weekend 👍🍷🌺
Ty for the amazing tour friends from the town ,scenery, and food wonderful video sledgehammered that like button and a full enjoyed watch stay awesome be blessed
It is!! But we will let you into our little secret, we only ever film in Portugal when there is a blue sky, so everyday in our UA-cam land is sunny Lol ☀️☀️Thanks for dropping by.
I just came back from Albuferia loved it. We stayed in the old town and your lovely tour to me back to my month stay there. Hope to get back there next year. We rented a large two bedroom two bathroom condo with large kitchen, balcony and washing machine, pure heaven.
Busy place, seems to have everything, that's a fabulous amount of ivy, really softens the concrete, nice view of the sea from the old town, Tracy would love the escalators, thanks for the walk through -- Steve
Hi Steve TFW glad you enjoyed our tour this is winter where it’s a lot quieter, in the summer apparently you can’t move or get a spot on the 🏖 beach (LOL) enjoy your weekend Cheers 👍🍺🍷
What a cool lifestyle. You live a vacation life. Very cool. You're certainly visiting some very awesome places. Portugal appears to be one of your favorites to visit. Watching your videos, it's easy to see why. Thanks for another great video!
We were there at the time of your video. Walked by the old Citroen everyday! Stayed at an Airbnb across the street from David’s restaurant. Thank you for capturing such wonderful memories of Albufeira.
This very day a year ago, right this moment, My sister and I were supposed to be checking into our little apt. rental in old town Albufeira. When got cancelled we said okay we will do next year , so much wishful thinking. Looks so beautiful. Thank you, your video is as close as I am going to get again this year.
Great video to watch in these troubled times. In 1984 there was no escalator, when you climbed the steps the time share touts were waiting for you. Incidentally there were fishing boats on the beach at that time.
TFW what a great comment I can’t imagine the climb without the escalators LOL 😂 day but can see and imagine and see the fishing boats ⛵️ On the beach just like Armacao de Pera which we love ❤️ too. Have a great week Cheers 🍷👍🍺
TFW the winter months are a lovely time to visit it’s very quiet that’s why we go , don’t think we could cope in summer too hot and too busy . Have a great weekend 👍🍷🌺
You definitely are a wonderful couple. Trough this video I felt transported to Albufeira walking on those streets without actually being there. You provide nice and clear explanations of your every step along your walk. Definitely a fan.
This Is Our Retirement thank you. Yes I love Canada. My grandpa was a liberal politician there in BC. Canada is great. Love the culture and ethos. How about those barricades Oml how awful. LOL.
Great video, Norm & Tina. Enjoyed the beautiful scenery and your walk through the area. The beach scene at the end was very picturesque. Looks like a fantastic place. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.
Hi Bob and Sue thanks for joining us on our tour we hope it shows new visitors an idea of where they are staying, hope you are enjoying a great weekend and having some nice weather . Cheers 🍺👍Norm and Tina 😎
I can't believe UA-cam on Alchemy from you guys again! Seen your comment on a video post so I came over but I hit the button again and let's see what happens from there. That's said I got to congratulate you guys as you guys are what people should be doing on UA-cam in short. Your channel looks good you always have great content you're great on camera and it shows in the views and you know what you're making our country proud and keep up the great work! I've been to every country from Iceland all the way down to Switzerland and I'm missing Italy, Monaco and of course Portugal so I am going to live vicariously through you guys for a little bit but I have to get there soon so I can finish them up. I was going to go the other year but my wife promised me not to go to those ones until she is with me and you can't argue with that lol. You guys are so awesome and keep up the Fantastic work and everything just looks great and keep enjoying the adventures. Once again, we're both proud of you
Hello, beautiful town , I like how the ivy creates a cool space in the sun. I miss stand alone pharmacys I used to work weekends monday was my day off, too what a great place for a holiday. Thanks for sharing
We have been going to Albufeira for 20+ years but due to Covid-19 we won't be over this year. 😪 Your wonderful videos have stopped me pining so much. Thank you so much for sharing them with us. Take care and stay safe xx
Thank you for your kind words, we have only been going to Albufeira for three years but love it there and The Algarve, like you we won’t be going back soon, so we like to watch our movies too, just to top up the memories lol Thanks for watching and stay safe and well. 🇵🇹
@@ThisIsOurRetirement I can't believe you've only being going there three years! Wow! (You've seen far more of the Algarve than I have - shame on me!) Your knowledge of the areas is fabulous and so helpful to people. I'm in a FB group about Albufeira and if you don't mind, I'd like to recommend your UA-cam videos to people on there. I hope that would be okay. Again, thank you for sharing your brilliant videos with us. Stay safe xx
@@donnalee8634 Good morning ☕️Donna, yes we would love you to share our videos on the Albufeira FB page, we are really glad you enjoy them we have a lot of fun exploring and making them. Hope you are staying safe and keep well enjoy your day Cheers 🍷🍺Norm and Tina 😎
Lovely video friends.....haha love the way you guys are taking us on a Global tour, from Cruise ship to what not..Loving your Portugal series...Surely its gonna be in my to do list...love the life style there, Portugal seems to have so much less traffic, less crowded than here in Auckland New Zealand.....Loved the color of the shop buildings and tiles that that use on the footpath ..... I really love such peaceful, not so chaotic places ! Kudos to you guys, a great vid once again !
Good morning Amit TFW We are sure you would like Portugal it’s very colourful, laid back when we visit in winter it gets very busy in summer 😂😂 But those gorgeous blue skies and beaches are what people all love a lot of Canadians are going there instead of Florida. Have a great weekend 👍🍺
Hello! I am from Portugal, but I don't remember Albufeira being that big. I remember when it was a lot small, and I use to go to the beach there. Well, I have been leaving in the United States for 43 years now, so it is very different from how I remember it. Thank you for the tour of this place.
Thanks for watching and joining us on our tour, you are staying in a great location You can walk everywhere from there enjoy your vacation. Have a great weekend 👍🍷🌺
@@hollyrichardson9728 It would be easiest and quickest to take a transfer from a private transfer company. The Albufeira train station is not in Albufeira but in Ferreiras 6km away. The bus does come into Albufeira but you would need to get from the Faro Airport to Faro downtown to catch the bus. Hope this helps.
Thanks for joining us on our tour we hope it might help new visitors get their bearings , we are having a great weekend and hope you are too. Hope Storm Dennis hasn’t caused you too much rain ☔️ we hear it’s been really bad over there I bet you wish you were back in New Zealand 👍🍺🌺
You are so lucky to live there and have the ocean, we feel lucky to be able to visit Albufeira. Thank you so much for visiting our channel, have a great week.
I’m bringing my teenage kids to Albuferia this summer and after I booked found out it is the party capital of the Algarve. Delighted to see where the strip is, and glad it will be some distance from our apartment. Hoping to use buses and taxis while there. Great to have the walkabout for reference because in the summer heat, it could be too hot to explore everywhere and good to have an idea of directions.
Hello Norm and Tina! I thought I would let you know that you missed a great snowstorm last night!! and today -14 with high winds and blowing snow. You know the routine here in the GTA. Lots of cars in the ditch. I was thinking of you as I was driving today wishing I was in sunny Portugal! Enjoy!
Hi Chris we are now back home and enjoying the high winds and -14 with you , in fact today looking out of our appartment window we went from whiteout conditions to sort of blue sky and sun in minutes . Actually we also wish we were back there I think next year we will go for two months (LOL) 😂😂but thanks for thinking about us drive safe and spring will be here soon 👍😎
@@ThisIsOurRetirement Oh sorry to hear, but then again I'm sure your'e already planning your next adventure. I guess that's the nice thing about retirement. few obligations that hold you here. My wife and I are still 12+ years away. Spring is almost here!!!:)
Thanks for the tour. We've been able to match that sunshine here, but our temperatures have been hovering around 0 degrees C. Ready for some warm weather.
Portugal has been nice we have been up to 22°C with overnight lows at 8°C but it’s the vivid blue sky we absolutely love. Hope you are having a good time and wish you both a great weekend.
I just wanted to say thank you for making these. My family is from Portugal and I was supposed to visit for the first time this summer but no longer will be because of the corona virus, so thanks for letting me live through you guys for a bit ❣️
Thank you for a lovely comment and so glad our video helped you enjoy the visit and we really hope you can travel there soon . Stay safe and keep well ATB 🌺🌞
Thank you for the wonderful tour showcasing food places to eat in as well as shopping, not to mention your on going advice. Thank you Tina and Norm. Great content for travelling. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Hi Peter and JoJo thanks for joining us on our tour we thought it would be helpful to new visitors to the area , we of course are pros now we have been 3 times (LOL) 😂😂 have a great week Cheers Norm and Tina 👍🍷🍺😎
👍 Nice video. My god! Almost no matter where one travels the American fast food joints have there foot in. I am surprised how many Indian restaurants are there. And Chinese too! I can’t imagine myself going to Portugal and seeking out Chinese food. Thank you for the insight. I know locals will likely seek them out though perhaps more than tourists. Looks like a great place to visit.
Good morning TFW as well as local restaurants there are lots of Chinese and Indian restaurants there. A lot of visitors are from England where Indian food is huge so they are catering to them, also lots of Irish pubs too. Many restaurants all do the famous English breakfast 🍳 which is hugely popular , guess people like that homey feeling. Have a great weekend 👍🍺🌺
That was such a good tour, i actually felt like i was there in Portugal with ya.. You covered so much in this video.. Well done my friends, Portugal looks like a fantastic country to visit.. Thanks for sharing.... Carl
Wow we are just newbies in comparison, we love the location as it right in the middle of The Algarve and in winter there is plenty to do in Albufeira. Thanks for watching and visiting our channel.
Hello Tina and Norman ! Just made a full watch on this Sunday morning having my coffee . I can understand why you we’re running to get to the beach it’s very lovely 😊 and those mobile stair are quite special...outside 😳 I heard Tina saying you have to watch yourself crossing the streets...are they crazy as in Montreal ? Thanks for showing us this lovely town I have share this on our new Facebook page Hélène & Serge ATB H&S👩❤️👨
Good morning Serge and Helene ☕️ Your New UA-cam channel is great 👍. Most of the drivers stop in Portugal just a few don’t so you have to be a bit careful . Hope you have a great Sunday Cheers Norm and Tina 👍🍺🍷
Lovely walking tour of Albufeira, with lots of information. We visited there many years ago and watching your video brought back some lovely memories. Have a wonderful weekend my friends 👍👌☺💕
Great tour Tina and Norm. It’s a lovely town... and although I prefer the quiet non-touristy villages, there are a few perks to the bigger towns - once in a while. Obrigada 🤗
@@ThisIsOurRetirement - Thank you!! I had a terrific birthday weekend. It wasn't Portugal, but had a fabulous day in NYC. Walked the Brooklyn Bridge with my daughter and one of my dear friends, and met a couple of other friends in Brooklyn for a terrific dinner. It was pretty perfect. Thank you again for a terrific video. x
Hello Tina and Norm! So nice to see this video! Actually my husband and I are enjoying all! At this video time , what season… month… you were there? Thank you very very much for giving us your inspiration in Algarve!
Thank you for watching we are glad you are enjoying our videos, this video was shot in February, we only go to The Algarve in the winter months usually January to March.
Hi Thankyou for the video I hope you are both enjoying ur retirement, I am going to stay in the Ondamar Aparthotel later this year I see the road works going on outside hopefully they’ll be finished by July, I’ve never been to Portugal

I can't believe UA-cam on Alchemy from you guys again! Seen your comment on a video post so I came over but I hit the button again and let's see what happens from there. That's said I got to congratulate you guys as you guys are what people should be doing on UA-cam in short. Your channel looks good you always have great content you're great on camera and it shows in the views and you know what you're making our country proud and keep up the great work! I've been to every country from Iceland all the way down to Switzerland and I'm missing Italy, Monaco and of course Portugal so I am going to live vicariously through you guys for a little bit but I have to get there soon so I can finish them up.
I was going to go the other year but my wife promised me not to go to those ones until she is with me and you can't argue with that lol. You guys are so awesome and keep up the Fantastic work and everything just looks great and keep enjoying the adventures. Once again, we're both proud of you

Old Town Albufeira is beautiful, I first went there in 1983 it was just a village back then lovely times and memories ❤
Great tour beautiful place tfs!!
Hi Sandra thanks for joining our tour have a great Sunday 👍🍷🌺
I’m bringing my teenage kids to Albuferia this summer and after I booked found out it is the party capital of the Algarve. Delighted to see where the strip is, and glad it will be some distance from our apartment. Hoping to use buses and taxis while there. Great to have the walkabout for reference because in the summer heat, it could be too hot to explore everywhere and good to have an idea of directions.
Glad you enjoyed it , have a wonderful time in the Algarve it’s a lovely place and yes it will be hot 🥵 Cheers 🇵🇹🍷🇨🇦🌺🙂
Hello Norm and Tina! I thought I would let you know that you missed a great snowstorm last night!! and today -14 with high winds and blowing snow. You know the routine here in the GTA. Lots of cars in the ditch. I was thinking of you as I was driving today wishing I was in sunny Portugal! Enjoy!
Hi Chris we are now back home and enjoying the high winds and -14 with you , in fact today looking out of our appartment window we went from whiteout conditions to sort of blue sky and sun in minutes . Actually we also wish we were back there I think next year we will go for two months (LOL) 😂😂but thanks for thinking about us drive safe and spring will be here soon 👍😎
@@ThisIsOurRetirement Oh sorry to hear, but then again I'm sure your'e already planning your next adventure. I guess that's the nice thing about retirement. few obligations that hold you here. My wife and I are still 12+ years away. Spring is almost here!!!:)
Thanks for the tour. We've been able to match that sunshine here, but our temperatures have been hovering around 0 degrees C. Ready for some warm weather.
Portugal has been nice we have been up to 22°C with overnight lows at 8°C but it’s the vivid blue sky we absolutely love. Hope you are having a good time and wish you both a great weekend.
My city!! Loved it.
Thanks for sharing this, hope you enjoyed your stay here 😘
We had a great time thank you it’s our third time there and will be back next year, enjoy your week 👍🍷🌺

I just wanted to say thank you for making these. My family is from Portugal and I was supposed to visit for the first time this summer but no longer will be because of the corona virus, so thanks for letting me live through you guys for a bit ❣️
Thank you for a lovely comment and so glad our video helped you enjoy the visit and we really hope you can travel there soon . Stay safe and keep well ATB 🌺🌞
Thank you for the wonderful tour showcasing food places to eat in as well as shopping, not to mention your on going advice. Thank you Tina and Norm. Great content for travelling. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Hi Peter and JoJo thanks for joining us on our tour we thought it would be helpful to new visitors to the area , we of course are pros now we have been 3 times (LOL) 😂😂 have a great week Cheers Norm and Tina 👍🍷🍺😎
Good one.
Thanks for the visit have a great weekend John Cheers 🍷🌺🇵🇹🇨🇦
👍 Nice video. My god! Almost no matter where one travels the American fast food joints have there foot in. I am surprised how many Indian restaurants are there. And Chinese too! I can’t imagine myself going to Portugal and seeking out Chinese food. Thank you for the insight. I know locals will likely seek them out though perhaps more than tourists. Looks like a great place to visit.
Good morning TFW as well as local restaurants there are lots of Chinese and Indian restaurants there. A lot of visitors are from England where Indian food is huge so they are catering to them, also lots of Irish pubs too. Many restaurants all do the famous English breakfast 🍳 which is hugely popular , guess people like that homey feeling. Have a great weekend 👍🍺🌺
When first we went to the UK, we were amazed and astonished how many Indian style restaurants there were. Even in the smallest of towns!
That was such a good tour, i actually felt like i was there in Portugal with ya.. You covered so much in this video.. Well done my friends, Portugal looks like a fantastic country to visit.. Thanks for sharing.... Carl
Hi Carl, Thanks for visiting us we are glad you liked the tour, Portugal is a real nice place to visit. Have a good trip in Devon.
Love Albufeira, been there 22 times
Wow we are just newbies in comparison, we love the location as it right in the middle of The Algarve and in winter there is plenty to do in Albufeira. Thanks for watching and visiting our channel.
I love your vlogs, you two are so amazing 😊😊😊
Thank you for watching and lovely comment we appreciate your support have a great weekend 👍🍷
Wow there goes the diet with the crepe shop...lol. We now have Spar shops over here as well which is weird to see.
Thanks for the tour guys 👍
Thanks for checking us out, I guess Spar stores are getting everywhere apart from North America. Have a great Sunday.

Just made a full watch on this Sunday morning having my coffee . I can understand why you we’re running to get to the beach it’s very lovely 😊 and those mobile stair are quite special...outside 😳
I heard Tina saying you have to watch yourself crossing the streets...are they crazy as in Montreal ?
Thanks for showing us this lovely town

Good morning Serge and Helene ☕️ Your New UA-cam channel is great 👍. Most of the drivers stop in Portugal just a few don’t so you have to be a bit careful . Hope you have a great Sunday Cheers Norm and Tina 👍🍺🍷

Great tour Tina and Norm. It’s a lovely town... and although I prefer the quiet non-touristy villages, there are a few perks to the bigger towns - once in a while. Obrigada 🤗
