New lows?

Hell's teeth! What a way to behave. Where were the GNR?
Perhaps on bingo patrol.

Apparently the GNR were there, firing plastic bullets. Not enough of them though, trouble began in Libertos and spilled out onto the street. Where were the mounted GNR you see in August!!

We have only been coming to the Algarve for the last 6 or 7 years, but I asked on here a couple of years ago questioning if the ethos of Albufeira was changing, because as a family we had seen quite a rapid rise in the amount of stag and hen parties in the Albufeira area. It now looks like its evolving to the next level with huge groups of party animals turning up.

My daughter and her family are arriving in August for 10days .   After weeks of looking for a hotel that does not have stag and hen do's she has opted for Clube Praia da Oura in the hopes it will be free of this type of tourist. We introduced her to Albufeira and the Algarve over 18 years ago. She has told me that this will be her last visit to Albufeira now and she is looking for quiter parts of the Algarve to visit. We love Albufeira our home from home like many others and it hurt us when she said that but i think the type of clientel that are invading Albufeira now are ruining it for everyone. When she sees that film and the mail she may even cancel her holiday. We wont but she may. Its such a shame its like the young ones are set to ruin everything who gets fun out licking beer off the floor and even worse lewd acts God help us all . Keep them out please.

The fact that it was billed as a "Urban Event" should have rung alarm bells,
Many Urban concerts and festivals in London attract what can only be described as a unruly attendance, recent events include the storming of the doors at Brixton Academy, resulting in the concert to be cancelled before it even started, Wireless 2015 at Finsbury Park, gates forced open by a ticketless mob, security guards assaulted and mini riots on site,causing the local residents petitioning the government to get future urban events banned in the local area.

This is not a event type that should be allowed in the Algarve or any other holiday destination or resort. As sad as it is that it happened in Albufeira I hope it's a warning to other resorts that are contemplating allowing this type of event in the future.

Somebody in Albufeira knew about this in advance.
You don't book hotel rooms for 1,000 people anywhere without someone asking a few questions.
