The resort town of Albufiera is located on the southern coast of Portugal in the lovely Algarve region. Most people will fly in to nearby Faro, and the short transfer from Faro airport to Albufeira is a good time to read up on all the fun activities you can do while in this delightful seaside town. The history of the area dates back to the Roman days when it was called Baltum. Later, the North African influence gave the city the name of Al-Buhera, from which the current name is derived. As you travel from Faro airport to Albufeira, you may notice signs that refer to the town as the “Gateway to the Algarve”, which it is popularly known as due to its beautiful beaches, welcoming atmosphere and ability to cater to all ages for a fantastic holiday. If you like to be out and about and active on your holidays in the sun, you've come to the right place. There are few better places along the southern coast where you can play paintball in the morning, ride horses in the afternoon and then watch the sunset while fishing from the back of a boat that very night! Paintball While not for the fainthearted, for those who like to try something a bit different on holiday consider the fun you can have while playing paintball. After settling in following the transfer from Faro airport to Albufeira, seek out the Crazy Paintball Adventure Company. In a day of fun for all the family you can strap on guards and masks and chase your friends and enemies around a well-organised field of natural shrubs and brush, dreaming up new ways to hide from the paint pellets raining down on you. Don’t worry if you are not well-versed in working a paintball gun as there are introductory lessons and the point of Crazy Paintball Adventures is not to stalk and shoot, but to work together as a team and basically have a load of fun. This is a great activity for large families and groups to take part in while on holiday in the resort. Horse-riding If you keep your eyes on the beach as you arrive on the transfer from Faro airport to Albufeira, you may catch sight of small groups on horseback enjoying the sights from the comfort of a saddle. At the Albufeira Riding Centre you can take lessons and learn the basic ins and outs of riding a horse if you have little or no experience. Those who are complete novices can stay around the stables until they get their riding balance, but those who are seasoned cowboys can head out straight away with a guide for a ride that can last up to several hours. Horseback riding is a unique and fun way to see the parts of the countryside that you might otherwise be unable to access on foot or by car. Fishing Fishing is an integral part of society for any Mediterranean coastal city, and there is no better way to relax after you arrive from Faro airport to Albufeira than to rent a boat or a yacht and head out onto the water for a spot of fishing. Depending on how long you want to stay out, what you want to catch, how much experience you have and how deep you pockets are, you can create a custom made day fishing off the coast. Head to the Albufeira Marina and plan your trip out onto the open waters as soon as you arrive – there is plenty to see out there! Lukas Johannes is a driver for Shuttle Direct.
