Back in the 80s and 90s We visited Albufeira many many times, due to circumstances we have been unable to visit for some time now. We hope that we may be returning March / April this year.
We always visited a little Dutch Bar in what was the Old town by the beach near the Old Fish market.
I believe the Bar was called A,Taverna and we were hoping someone maybe able to let us know if it is still there or disapeared with the many changes that we believe have occurred since we were there.
Many Thanks.
The fish market has gone of course and so have the boats, all now out of sight and out of mind in the new Marina.
You will find much of the area changed, almost beyond recognition in certain spots.
I have a collection of photos at http://thomasallen.spaces.live.com
Feel free to browse down the albums and see how things have changed since the civic improvement works began in 2006. I suggest you find the album dated 20 August 2009 and work back from there. You will also find the 28th October of interest.
I hope that helps.
Many Thanks, Looking forward to returning and hope we like the changes.
A Taverna was open at 7pm last night - maybe it was their night off when I passed the other day. It's more of a restaurant now by the looks of it. There were a few people sitting at the outside tables as it was a fairly warm and dry evening for a change.
Many thanks cubsur, It will be nice to visit the bar after so long, Good news on the weather as well.
I hope so for the weather as well - they certainly won't be sitting outside this lunchtime!
