Shopping

Apart from shops in individual towns and resorts, there is ‘Algarve Shopping’, a complex with national and international shops, a cinema, supermarket and restaurants. It is on the N125 between Armacao de Pera and Albufeira.  Worth a trip for those shopaholics amongst you, or when it’s cloudy! There is also a new shopping complex close to Portimao mainly for clothes if you want more shopping – Aqua!!
