Albufeira harbour, or Marina as the Portugese like to say. The shot is taken from the first place we stayed in. We had booked a villa but wound up in a bungalow of sorts (with our own private swimming pool). The bungalow was on top of a hill facing the sea and marina. Amazing views from that place although we weren't too happy with it since we expected something else, but we got to the other villa 10 days into our vacation.
The marina itself was still a bit underdeveloped in 2006 but I reckon a lot has changed by now. There's a promenade facing the harbour with shops and restaurants. There was also a nightclub but the entry fee, €50, was a bit to much for my taste. (I'm still Dutch you know.) Didn't see much people when I peeked inside so I guess that nightclub is aiming for the rich and famous who just sail in. Beyond the harbour (where the trees are) there's also a fine restaurant. We ate their the first evening and it started getting busy later on in the evening. People all dressed up nicely. The bill was nice too.
