Hi,
We were at the strip area for 1 week in January this year and although there were some places closed, most of them were open. We also found this when we went in to the old town.You will have have enough choice of bars and restaurants between both areas.

Thanks for that Pat,put my mind at rest was'nt sure if things would be open,and my only other choice would have to be Benidorm.

Albufeira January - be warned that the next phase of the programme to renew the drains, sewers and water mains is due to begin on January 4th. This will affect the area of the CAIS HERCULANO and PRAIA DOS PESCADORES; that is to say the seafront area of the Old Town of Albufeira. Nowhere else is affected.

It is quite likely that many of the establishments in that particular area will be unable to trade as there will be no water or sewerage let alone the fact the streets will be dug up.

The rest of the city will not be affected we are told.
