We popped into there last week of June for a few hours and they were tidying the last bits up. We didn't find it too much trouble so it must be nigh on finished now.
Is all the building and repair work in Albufeira finished yet. Staying further away in early August but planning to go in for an evening and to eat with 2 children, which area of Albufeira is best to go to Old Town or Strip ?[/b]
depends what your looking for Woo .I stay in montechoro which is the top of the strip but like going into the old town at nights.Its a better atmosphere i personnally think.There are great eating places in both its just a preference
What a nightmare the taxi service is there, and it takes an hour to get a taxi home too. 
There are several giro busses that run all around the town, a euro a ride and one of thoses little tourist trains as an alternative aidy.
Shanks' pony is best though - you miss so much riding in taxis.

The work in the old town is nearly finished, just the odd bits that need finishing off.
I came back on Thursday 20/7/06 all that is going on now is a few water pipes are being replaced on the residential streets,
The Square is finished and the puppet shows and other entertainment is going on as usual

haha the puppet shows were very funny! I have some good pics! I really liked the old town! I came back Thursday aswell and i am very sad! 
I have heard that they have stopped the renovations for the summer but that they will start again in autumn. Does anyone know if this is true? We are due to stay there in December and Im keeping my fingers crossed it will be finished.
They have almost finished, if there is any more work to be done, it is very minor and will not affect your holiday. Dont Panic!
Thanks for that reassurance!
Have just returned from Albufeira and I heard that work will begin again November/December on the car park area by WildBills which will last 3-4 months. They are levelling the car park to build a permanent stage, and also an elevator up the side of the cliff.
Hope its delayed as we are also going there for the new year.

Where's WildBills? Is it anywhere near Fishermans Beach area?
Wild Bills is near the GNR(police) office,I think, where theye have just built the new multi car park, not too well up on street names though.Cheers Jayjan.
Wild Bills is a cracking bar, that overlooks the fisherman's beach car park. Well worth a visit if you are in the Old Town.
Blimey diydaz, we have had 9 months of people on here moaning that the square is the ONLY place to be, and they cannot possibly come to Albufeira if they are building there, and now you are getting all sentimental over a blinking car park...

Who's moaning, just saying that work may start again but it wouldn't bother me if theres work going on or not, I would still go as I love the place. Just would be a shame if that area and wildbills was shut for the new year as the last few new years eve nights have been superb, well what I can remember of them.
Not having a pop diydaz, just a gentle dig, which by your post I think you have clocked straight away!
Yeah, last NYE in Wild Bill's was a blast, wasn't it! We had a great time too, and it would be a real shame if Steve and Anne Marie had to close then, but next year will be so much better! Can't blame me for accentating the positive eh?
Hope we get too meet up either way!
