The evening opens with salt-warmed air and the murmur of cobbled streets as your driver navigates Albufeira’s low-slung buildings toward a family-run Portuguese restaurant. Inside, sauted garlic and olive oil signal the start: couvert plates arrive, glasses lift, and conversation slows to the Portuguese rhythm. After a full main course, dessert and coffee, the night continues at a nearby cocktail bar where mixologists trade local ingredients for contemporary flair.
