1. Mass tourism in Albufeira
2. High built-up density - some settlements have almost lost their original harmony
3. There are many unimaginatively designed, gloomy-looking hotels and apartment houses
4. The British completely occupied Albufeira - they are more there than the Portuguese themselves - Breakfast could not be anything other than British Breakfast.
5. A lot of pickpockets.
6. The beaches are wide, and by the time one reaches the water, her/his bare feet may burn.
6. Faro is an uninteresting place
7. The sea is cold, also in summer.
8. Due to the siesta, many restaurants close in the early afternoon
9. The boisterous nightlife can disturb families with small kids.
10. Avoid Algarve in the summer!
