albufeira.old.town

while you loved praia de pescadores, you actually dislike the old town.
at a glance, the beach at this time of the year is deserted, quiet and serene.
the shells are lying on the beach silently waiting to be picked up or toss away when the tide come again....
and he is enjoying his brief moment with the sea, while you actually quite like it here listening to the gentle swaying of the sea wave, almost crystal blue water and a little warm up temperature, pleasant enough to be out there and not sweating...
and then the nightmare started as you approaching the old town, the most happening place...  algarve has been the playground for the german and the brits.  and certainly this place is gear up toward that market with all the food they served in the restaurant and the kind of beverages they offer. everybody speak (almost perfect) english here.
you woke up from your serenity moments when bunches of drunken brits and russians shouting and walking around in the daylight.  there're plenty of bachelor parties or hen parties group here too wearing weird costume.
despite that, you do find some charming and photogenic moments in the old town
if not that you're constantly confronted by the drunken tourists and the restaurants that trying to lure you to their restaurant.
you've a mixed feeling on this place and silently you made a mental note that you will not visit the old town again for the rest of your trip.
