4 May (Sun)- Hilton Vilamoura, Albufeira

4 May (Sun)- after a nice filling buffet breakfast, we packed and headed for the Faro vicinity's Hilton Vilamoura, which wasn't in the GPS database, but we went to the road it was on and drove until we got to it [N 37 05.483 W 08 06.712]. It's a huge new modern resort hotel, with flashy architecture, bright colors, a waterfall set in the midst of a golf course. We took a drive to Albufeira on the way there, past its marina, and into the old town, with its narrow, winding maze of one-way alleys. Returning to the Hilton, we walked to the Marina through what was 'old town' on the map, but was actually a very new upscale residential area set among the golf courses. We had supper at 'A Pranca do Peixe', a very delicious seafood meal of beer and the 'mixed seafood for 2', which was grilled mackeral, seabass and salmon with potatoes and vegetables. The bread was served with little packages of 'Pate de Sardinha' and 'Pate de Atun', very tasty instead of butter or olive oil.
