A month has passed. See what progress on Marina Phase Two you can spot.

I just took this picture from out of my window. The camp is still there. I had the impression the other day that there were not so many as
last year. Or maybe they go elsewhere for summer. There has also been
some work scraping out what looks like new streets, so perhaps someone
has got their laundered money sorted out for the building of another
luxury tourist condominium, which would do away with the camp.

Andrew was same thing in Vilamoura many years ago with the shanty town, and it was a big one. 5 star hotel Atlantis now a different name, overlooking shanty town, what a sight that was to the eye if you were staying there. It took years for the council to clear them all away & build the new fishermans Marina. Maybe the same thing will apply to Albufeira Marina.

Any sign of the gypsy campsite being relocated?
What a blight that is on the Marina development as a whole... You have the cosmopolitan Marina with all the boats, bars, restaurants etc, and directly in your eye line across the Marina is the gypsy site.. It must be a contributing factor to so many, still, empty units. If the town planners have embraced this development, as clearly they have, and good on them, then why do they not address this absolute blight... Nothing against gypsies but to my mind, 'Marina developments' and gypsy sites next door to each other gives something of a conflict. |

Well whatever they are doing they are not doing it very fast. The Great Wall of China was probably built quicker than the wall at the marina.
 Meanwhile along the road there were a couple of machines stirring up the dust  This new road has been built coming off the hill down from São Rafael. Other than a couple of blokes working near the Oceano building, not a lot was going on.  |

This is the only image I have. I can see most of it from my window as well.

Hi
Do you have any plans or links to plans to show what this is going to look like when finished? We look out over this from our rooftop appartment in Pateo so far enough away not to hear to much noise or get dust etc. Only 7 years to complete ????

I saw on JCB trolling around but hardly a hive of activity. As i said before, I will bet the people in the nice houses up on top of the hill area are excited about several years of dust and noise.
I will make this a sticky so we can add to it now and then as things progress. These pictures were taken on Tuesday 28th June.    |
