    Been watching on and off for a while now kev, and just subscribed. Lovely to see the old town, and those prices are comparable. It's definitely not Tenerife/Benidorm pricing, but looks a lovely place to visit.

    I’ve been to Albuferia two times and going again this fall. Yes there are tons of good restaurants there is one that really stood out on a side street from Ave de Liberdade with Brazilian food excellent meals reasonable prices. The owner is super fun and very friendly. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your videos.

    Hi Kevin, I'm the one who told you about the "secret garden." You had to go upstairs in through the pub behind the Tattoo Club. Kay's saying it maybe closed down becsuse of covid.
    It had a big TV screen for the footie and there was a lovely wee girl who used to play the acoustic guitar....
    Shame if it's closed

    Kevin your vlogs are brilliant. Thought about going to Portugal, so your videos have been helpful. Just been ripped off in Amanda's in Tenerife. nearly 50 euros for 2 bottles of white wine, our fault should have read menu better. Their menu is the only one that doesn't show price for full bottle, its actually 3/4 last price. 🤪

    The Portuguese live for food, their main conversation is all about where and what they are going to eat next. If you think the French are world champs at camping out in Restaurants, forget it the Portuguese are more skilled eat for longer the portions can be 30% larger than most traditional restaurant than France. I am not surprised there are few €9.49 three course deals, it's not something any local would go for. You have to look for places that have set priced 'all you can eat' deals, yet expect to wait between servings, in Portugal there is never ever any hurry over food.

    Hi Kevin, went to book my apartment for next year in Albufeira with Airbnb and I booked, only to get my booking cancelled, because they have not updated next year's prices, ( I thought they should have accepted price shown) anyway I got an email next day with updated price, DOUBLED the price, shocking, so folk beware, prices are shooting up, it's lovely Albufeira, but pricing itself out for me.
