Work continues apace with another large area being cleared for €1 million houses.


This the area





Meanwhile, the little park is no longer being looked after. No money to be made after all.

More land is being cleared for more very expensive houses. Where will they get their servants from? No-one less than a millionaire will be able to afford to live here soon!

More new building near the little park, which is starting to look a somewhat neglected. Some pictures were taken from up on the hill near the water tower.










Most of the properties in this block are now complete and occupied. Those to the left are under construction. The market site is in front, with the temporary stands and the green roofed stables for the equestrian show visible.







General view of the marina and the ridge behind.

Tom if you look out of your window you will see the Park is being kitted out with a stage, a couple of temporary seating structures and  a 20 feet tall Panda.

No I've not been drinking, (yet anyway) on Saturday there will be a Panda Kids TV spectacular featuring all your favourite characters from Panda TV (It's a PT Kids Channel).

Rock on Tommy!

Albufeira marina seond phase area Friday 10th May

A nice sunny day. Very busy in the restaurants and bars.

Out behind the great wall, a few more million Euro houses are under construction. The little park is still locked, but I did see chaps mowing the grass and trending to sprinklers. It is a mighty mystery why it has been kept closed for so long, all the while money is being spent to maintain it. Elsewhere, it's weeds and general desolation.

Took a walk around on Tuesday. The market wasn't very well populated on account of the New Year's excesses no doubt.  Most of the stalls were for Asian made 'fashion' tat. There was one fruit and veg stall and another one selling tools, batteries, etc like a hardware store.

The little park and playground are still locked up. What a waste. Nearby, the highly expensive townhouses are beginning to be occupied with more slowly being added.











'Windmill Hill' from the Marina


The very des.res up on the ridge to the north.


This new build by the market site seems to have been abandoned.


The row opposite.

Not to mention ten years of building sites nearby.

Lots of Trailers and expensive ingenious looking trucks that convert into rides have arrived  behind the marina, on the site where they hold the market. It's for the Feira Franca which runs from 29/11 till 3/12. It is the first one since covid and like the market has moved to the vacant phase 2 plots.

When those rides and disco music kick off on wednesday night, you'll be really glad you bought your 1.25m€ villa just 25 metres away!

Nothing this morning, just looked out of my window. I wonder? Might pop down there tomorrow to see if there is anything.

Some kind of event going on in the park today. Lots of cars parked outside and families in the park. Can't see any kind of organised events or anything just separate groups of families sitting around.
The camara website, of course has no information. Next week I'm sure they will have pictures of the official opening last Saturday!

But nearby, the little park is still locked and starting to be a little overgrown.

The row of new properties on the other side of the market site is gradually getting bigger.

The whole plot is about the size of a football pitch. I count nine houses built or being built with room for two or three more. The whole area is going to be building site for years.

Lovely ambience for 1.25 million!

I saw those on IAD and the artistic impression is far away from the reality , the impression was space and no neighbours , not at all like the actual plots .
That’s a lot of money
