Don`t want to worry Simpson too much, but it is a stated fact that most of the Portugal invasion revellers were staying at Club Praia Oura. So I think its safe to say CPO will allow almost anybody to stay in their hotel

Between the three hotels at that end, Muthu have 900 apartments, which won`t ever be more than 90% full even right now ... nor more than around 50% full outside of the June-Sep window. Of course, they have recently closed Forte da Oura and Oura Praia (300 apts) during `winter` for that very reason .. and not actually the ones they gave. You can bet your bottom dollar they`ll take anyone ... and in the current high demand, everyone and their dog will be going there.

Unless something is done about the disgusting behavious or some of the visitors to Albufeira, it will slide down the sewer even further than it is now. It is fast becoming Blackpool with sun ( a title previously held by Benidorm but not now it seems). However the bar owners are perfectly happy to serve anyone with never ending amounts of drink. Families seem to be in short supply at the moment. This will only get worse if nothing is done to stop the tide of stag and hen parties ( which do bring in money but for a limited number of outlets) and the large parties intent on getting so drunk they cannot stand. I have been coming to Albufeira for a number of years now and have seen the general decline over the past few years.

What can the authorities realistically do? They can suggest to people like MGM that licencing may be delayed a bit, but people like MGM are very rich and have good lawyers. They can suggest that hotels don't take large group bookings at weekends, but that is all they can do - suggest it. Another part of the problem is that the "limited number of outlets" are owned by people who are very influential in a small town like Albufeira. As I wrote earlier in the thread, unfortunately the families simply don't spend enough, too many on all inclusive deals or tight budgets (through no fault of their own, I understand that). For bars and restaurants to stay open, they need more than Julie, Steve and the two kids coming in once during their stay and having burger and chips and a couple of drinks. The one thing that can be done is that when drunken behaviour does occur, it gets dealt with swiftly by the police. But they cannot be everywhere.

Families are short supply at the moment because the English school holidays haven't started. It will be different picture in a couple of weeks time.
Holiday companies are really pushing the Algarve because it is cheap for Brits and seen as safer than Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia etc. The fad will pass once the profiteering starts and hotels etc push up their prices.

I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa.

It happens every weekend in Temple Bar in Dublin. Poor tourists walk right into the middle of it, locals know better and steer well clear.

We were in the Old Town last week during the afternoon and there was a noticeable increase in the number of stag parties than we have seen on our numerous other visits over the years.

Our police put up with too much. I'd be happier to see the GNR lay heavy hands on troublemakers & give them a few bruises to add to their tattoos.
(it's true. The older I get the more right wing I become.) |

Very often,left wing,& right wing have very similar objectives,they just take different paths to get there.
