Hi all,

This will be our first christmas in the Algarve, can you kind people please tell me if everything shuts down on Christmas eve with regard to pubs ?

If they are open are they usually dead on this night ?

Would it be a better bet to go to Albufeira for the night ???

The only reason I ask is that as it's a latin country I presume a family meal is the order of the night on Christmas eve.

Regards

J.B

Yes a family meal is a must at that night,but i think some of the bars will be open altough not busy the party periode is over new year when the algarve will come alight:-)
