The local town of Albufeira, provides excellent shopping facilities, in a wonderful european style.

In Albufeira, shops in the main square and the narrow back streets sell local art and handicrafts which make great reminders of your holiday. Elsewhere, crowded markets and well stocked shops simply overflow with bargains. The market held at Loule is particularly good. Souvenirs include hand painted tiles, ceramics, bronze, copper and cork goods plus Port and Madeira wine.
