Hi
We have just booked a week in albufeira in August with two teenagers aged 17 and 14.
Can anyone give me any ideas as to which would be the best places to go on a night time to keep them entertained
Old town or Strip Beachcomber?
My teenage girls preferred the old town but we usually go the first week of Easter and the strip is very quiet at that time.
thanks for the replies, I think my 17 year old will be dragging us to the more lively places
Sounds just the place for the younger ones. There are other, more sedate, bars nearby for those of a more sensitive disposition.
In August everywhere in the old town square etc will be really busy until at least 3am - there are about twenty music bars within 100 metres. Most have an open admission policy, except as I recall the Atrium (?) which had a list as long as your arm of reasons not to be allowed in - being under 21 was one of them.
PS legal drinking age here is 16 and ID is often asked for.
Bit different from my first 'grown up' holiday going to Pontins in Paignton on an out of season break with another 17 year old girlfriend. could have had more excitement watching paint dry back home.
Mine would enjoy this too. I must check out the Paraiso again as I believe that was very close to old town

Sounds ideal doesn't it Lyn. Especially if you can get hold of some cheap Easyjet flights. I am sure I managed to get them for 60 pound per person when I went, so far cheaper than Turkey or Egypt. unless you get mega lucky. (although I appreciate that you are in the air for a lot less time).
That leaves a lot of scope for other costs, such as accommodation and spends, what with everywhere being more expensive due to the dodgy pound.
Very difficult finding suitable places for teenagers.
Obviously diferent in your case because your daughter would be going on her own with friends but if I were in that position it's got to be preferable to magaluf

I am a sad person and my choice would be to book a villa and flights and be out there at the same time 'just in case'.
My dear friend is doing just that this summer . Her 17 year old is going to Magaluf with the lads and she has booked the rest of the family in on another part of the island "just in case" .
The Paraiso is about 15 minutes walk from the old town and beaches and only a little bit further from the 'Strip'.
