He got an amazing deal for Topazio hotel, don't think you would get that in any other resort so I think Albufeira is cheapest European destination for some hotel deals]]> Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:24:39 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96379.html#96379 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96373.html#96373 Author: Patti

Bodeguita is a lovely bar and as you say Carlos is a gentleman and the outdoor area is a sun trap.It is one we often stop at as is the other one you mention but its name escapes me,they always have a selection of peticos at the bar.There are a lot of small gems like these around.]]> Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:48:45 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96372.html#96372 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96370.html#96370 Author: Algarveaddick

We hear of the cheap beer in Spain, and then when we go to Torremolinos and Benalmadena it's always dearer than here - must just be in that area that they take the P with their prices? ]]> Thu, 10 Mar 2016 07:56:36 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96370.html#96370 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96369.html#96369 Author: JimTina

Compared to other resorts that we have been to in recent years, i.e. Tenerife, Benidorm, Costa del Sol, Alcudia etc. I have always found Albufeira slightly more expensive for beer. The other resorts always seem to have lots of bars selling large beers for only 1 euro.

However dining out seems to be a fair bit cheaper in Portugal so it still probably works out cheaper overall. I love Portugal anyway so for a couple of holidays a year it doesn't make that much difference to us either way.

BTW, la Bodeguita at the bullring is a lovely little bar, reasonably priced, and Carlos always makes a real fuss of us when we go there.

Another nice little bar near by is on the side road going from the bullring to the Vila Petra hotel. I can't remember the name of it but it is a Portuguese bar used mostly by locals half way up on the left hand side. The family are from Porto i think and the francesinhas and bitoque are really nice in there. Worth a look if you are passing.

I sort of agree John. But Patti specifically asked about cheap bars. I wouldn't pay £20 to watch a covers band anywhere though...    ]]> Wed, 09 Mar 2016 08:51:13 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96355.html#96355 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96350.html#96350 Author: john2604smith

It's all relative, if you want lovely surroundings or to be entertained be prepared to pay for it, if you want cheap and cheerful you can have it. That's the beauty of Albufeira it caters for all, I pay 4 euro in the Rock Cafe but I know I can listen to fantastic Band I would have to pay £20 on the door to see back in the UK.  4 euro is just over 3 quid ! I pay that to stand in a normal pub in the UK, so to me all of Albufeira has "cheap" beer  ]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2016 20:42:42 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96350.html#96350 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96349.html#96349 Author: Big Col

Last June I was told that the cheapest beer in the Old Town (1 Euro) was at a little bar up Ecovia do Literal (which isn't far from the Rocamar) BUT

it's a busy road
it has plastic chairs
can't comment on the telly or toilets because I haven't been in. As a tourist it just didn't look right.

I have paid 3 Euros regularly in and around the square at the likes of Harry's Bar so Iit will be interesting to see 2016 prices. Most bars have prices displayed outside anyway.]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2016 20:05:50 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96349.html#96349 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96348.html#96348 Author: A9NDY

Cheapest and nicest pint has to be at o jorges for me,€1.75 when we was last there.
Another cheap watering hole we often use is cafe leo €2.00 a pint 50cl super bock.]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2016 19:52:03 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96348.html#96348 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96347.html#96347 Author: Patti

I agree with all of the above, I work all year and love my holidays and enjoy nice surroundings - was just wondering if any were cheaper , looking forward to trying these two bars 😊
thanks everyone for the recommendations]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2016 19:42:59 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96347.html#96347 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96346.html#96346 Author: DICEYUK

At the end of the day a large beer for €2.50 is only £1.90 in real money, and that is cheap compared to the £4 a pint we pay round here in N Norfolk.

"Cheap"isn't always best, people are on holiday, personally I would prefer to spend an extra 25 pence on a drink and be in lovely surroundings with a fantastic view than sat on plastic seats and plastic table cloths next to a motorway just because it's cheap.  ]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2016 18:11:18 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96345.html#96345 https://albufeira.com/forum/algarve-cheapest-european-holiday-destination_topic9319_post96342.html#96342 Author: Algarveaddick
