Taken Sunday afternoon 29th March with low quality camera! That large block towards the bottom centre has been empty since time immemorial. Tourist shops occupy the ground floor, rough sleepers some of the rest.

Old town square

A bit cloudy yesterday. Some pictures from up on the hill.

From the hill behind Páteo, looking north. The buildings on the left are part of Eden Resort, beyond is Clube Albufeira.



Looking over the Caliços area.



Beyond the LIDL sign are the high-rise hotels of Montechoro.







The pink building on the left is near the small ALDI. This is the Cerro Malpique area.



Behind the stadium floodlights, the Janelas do Mar apartments.



Avenida da Liberdade and above it the southern end of Cerro Malpique.



Looking across the bay to Vilamoura in the hazy distance.



The entrance to Quarteira harbour, a little over 8 miles (13km) from where I was standing.

A few more, taken Wednesday 12th up on Cerro D´Águia during a gap between the showers! It was quite misty and murky.

Holiday apartments, Rua da Gralheira

Crumbling ruins of the  Crowne Plaze site with choppy sea in the background.

The Caliços area with the cloud covered hills in the background.

The Eden resort with its 'big top' with Clube Albufeira in the middle background. The tent was blown down in the tornado event of Saturday 15th November. The building to the left was also badly damaged.

Buildings of the old town.

Eastwards across town. with LIDL on the left, the smaller ALDI on the right at the top of the hill. The big hotels of Montechoro centre left.

Páteo.

Yet another mansion being built on the slope between main road and marina.

 

Vilamoura and Quarteira in the background, across the bay.

The red cliffs of the Falésia beach area are prominent in this picture. 

 

Above - 'Windmill Hill' below, the apartments on the far side of the marina.

Below - very expensive houses built and under construction near the oldmarket site.

 

The crumbling remains of the ill-fated Crowne Plaza site.

Another view of Windmill Hill

 

Peak season, no-one there. Apartments across the hill, name unknown, in Rua da Gralheira.

 

The former market site, now deserted.

Páteo, a sought after area.

 

Some views of the town from around the ill-fated Oceanville site taken 26th August 2025.

I fear it will all come crashing down. The world is in turmoil atm. 

From the ridge up above the marina. Taken Tuesday 8th April. To save me some work, please click the link.

From up on Cerro do Águia. Páteo to the left, Encosta da Orada apartments to the right. The Dolphins roundabout is just around the corner at the top of the road.
