The building on the corner or Rua Igreja Nova and Travessa dos Arcos hs been entirely gutted and is being rebuilt. These shots from across the street show details of the oldest parts of the structure. The steps go up and over the street, nence the name Rua dos Arcos. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">

| Do you know what the building will be used as once completed. I have apt in Travessa dos Arcos but when I ask workmen they are very vague. |

The building permit simply says 'Habitação' which these days usually means apartments for tourists. However when I passed by yesterday, I had the impression that work had stopped. The permit has expired. There was no materiel on site, no sign of activity. I will have another look when I am in town on Wednesday. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Site is closed down by the looks of it. Another example of the couldn't care less attitude that prevails when it comes to building projects. Start, do a bit, stop, ask for more money, get refused, abandon. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

I asked one of the chefs at Casa del Mar who used to work with the lady there till she retired, she lives next door to the construction site and was informed it was just a rebuild by the owner of the old building. ------------- suggy |

A rebuild? Knocking it all down and starting again. I will have a closer look over the weekend. Most of the site was covered up so new picture needed. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Not much sign of activity, although the site is largely covered now. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  Nearby, work also seems to have stopped on the old Imortal Sports Club building. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Work is definitely back under way at these sites and others nearby. I will have some pictures tomorrow. It is good to see these old properties being rebuilt, but I guess only for holiday lets. No-one will live in them. They have no parking. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Updates to those above plus a new one (the yellow one) up at the corner of Rua Samora Barros and Rua Diogo Leote. Work was proceeding apace everywhere. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  This one is opposite the parish church and looks more like a restaurant than holiday apartments. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">

I was able to go up on the roof of the apartments above Indian Nights restaurant for this view of the extensive restoration of the building across the street, on the corner of Rua dos Arcos. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

The new building opposite Indian Nights restaurant is coming on fast. A whole new front in likely. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  This is the front above the shops on Rua 5 de Outubro https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  And this is the one in the little alley (Travessa André Rebelo) that goes up from Rua 5 de Outubro towards the church https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Some progress. Also, a set of railings has appeared on the footpath up by the church, helpful to us old people up the hill after a good night out! https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

The one opposite the Indian Nights, Travessa dos Arcos corner, is well on the way to completion.  The other, in the alley near the church, is going very slowly! https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">

Little progress! Although this little shrine or water fountain has been done nicely. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  They won't be coming soon! The site has been abandoned and the doorways bricker up to prevent vagrants from sleeping there. This was the old Imortal sports club HQ, empty for many years. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  Although next door work continues. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  This one, in the alley leading up to the church, is going along very slowly. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Plenty of people toiling away yesterday at Bagatelle, but nothing to show what is going to be the end result. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

The old Imortal pavilion has seen no work in months. The fence at the side has come down, revealing what was either a yard or a garden in the past.  https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  The cottage next door looks to have been finished off nicely, but who's going to want to live next to a massive building site? https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  And further into town the conversion first seen over a year ago seems to also have stalled. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">

Looks like they have given up on this one. Another half baked scheme that leaves a mess. Picture taken Monday 14th October 2024. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">

I don't know whether this is a conversion or a complete demolition. This is in Rua 5 de Outubro (the road to the tunnel) opposite the Bailote restaurant. The buildings housed an estate agent, a bureau de change and a restaurant called Sabores do Churrasco. https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  https://postimages.org/" rel="nofollow">  ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |
