Just walked past this mess, down the hill from hotel Colina do Mar where some might remember the road subsided a while back. Well this time it looks like an earthquake. More likely though something has been leaking for ages and eventually...   ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

| That blue pipe is HDPE watermain. Subsidence could shift the fittings and cause a leak alright. |

Probably earth tremors caused by the dancing going on in the new Havana bar...

None really. They have certainly been there 20 years if not more. A typical example of property speculation, financial mismanagement and then collapse. After all this time they are probably beyond redemption. A real eyesore for anyone who bothers to look up from the tacky shops and bars on the ground floor. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Back to reality the hole is now more or less filled in but the roads are still closed waiting for the lorryload of cobblestones to be relaid. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Before T'Rovers had money, they had a dirt car park that was like the surface of the moon. I said to the attendant "Are these the 4000 holes then?". He looked at me totally blank...  ------------- Go away Duchatalet |

They'll be fixing a hole where the rain gets in, I suppose. Hmmm ------------- It is no coincidence that in no known language does the phrase 'As pretty as an Airport' appear. Douglas Adams |

Bottom end of same street as in post 1, taken today. It's closed to traffic below Hotel Colina do Mar while new drains are being laid. https://postimg.cc/PNNHJy6w" rel="nofollow">  It's Rua Maria Teresa S.
