Culture and Architecture

Albufeira can boast about its history and rich cultural life. There are lots of amazing parks, gardens, remarkable monuments of architecture and museums. Cheap Albufeira hotels also bear the features of its culture. They are dazzlingly white with the transparent balconies as most of the buildings in this city. It is perfectly in harmony with the cloudless sky and in the same blue ocean. And only at beach of San Rafael, which is located just some miles from the center, comes across an interesting area with the colorful apartment buildings.

Hotel Balaia Mar, Hotel California and Oleandro Country Club are rather notable among other accommodations. All self-contained rooms of Oleandro have a spacious layout, air conditioning and balconies; some have a unique design with the bright pink walls and furniture from the raw wood. Wonderful views over the pool or garden are opened from the comfortable rooms of Balaia Mar hotel. Each room has a private bathroom with the hairdryer. Apartments at the Hotel California are made in a Moorish style with the wooden furniture and decorated with mosaics.

Portugal is one of the oldest European countries which is placed by a narrow strip in the south-west of the Iberian Peninsula. Its main area is Albufeira with rich culture, history and great prospects of tourist development. Today, people have an opportunity to see some interesting historical and architectural monuments. Evidence of Arab culture influence serves a Moorish arch on Travessa da Igreja Vella. This is the only element that has been preserved from an ancient mosque, where was built the first Christian church in Albufeira.
