Albufeira history and monuments

The place we know today as Albufeira is not just a “Tourist Capital” in Portugal. It is also an area full of history, with plenty of evidence of human occupation since the remote Neolithic and Bronze ages.

There still remain ruins of aqueducts, roads and bridges built by the Romans.
Historically, commerce with North Africans led to a gradual influx of the Moors throughout the Algarve. The name of Albufeira comes from the Arab “Al-Buhera” which means “Castle of the Sea” – this name might be derived from the existence of a fortification built on the rocky outcrop that dominated the lagoon on the lower part of the town. 

Albufeira weather and climate

The sea water temperature starts at around 14ºC in January and reaches a high 22ºC in August. A pleasant sea breeze refreshes the average annual temperature of the region, which is 17,7ºC (15ºC in January and up to 28ºC or more in July and August).

The Algarve can also count on around 3.000 hours of Sun during the year which makes it a favourite destination for those who fancy such a delightful climate.

The proximity of the Mediterranean Sea greatly influences the Algarvean climate. Summers are hot and dry and winters are mild with hardly any rain (50 days with rain and 500 mm on average each year), combined with very inviting Springs and Autumns.
