Albufeira flood November 2015

I find the "O" is very important when naming an Irish bar, "O Dalys" just to be to be sure that we know it is an Irish bar!

Thanks for the photo.

A quick snap of the ongoing work to rebuild the Avenida Liberdade down from the roundabout, taken early this afternoon with phone so not the usual quality.

Update for today at https://cubsur51.wordpress.com/2015/12/15/albufeira-after-the-flood-continued-part-2/

Compare this picture with that above. However a concrete mixer was hard at work inside Casa da Fonte and the sign says open on 26th December.

The escalators are now working.

All the pictures are on my MS OneDrive and / or blog page and thus in the public domain already.

Perhaps I shall refer the museum to them.

Looks like they have made considerable improvements to the area around square`s big tree ... dirt area reduced .. more concrete and wooden seating now around it. What will bar owners say when several hundred people can now sit ... without paying ?

I hear what you are saying about clogging up the seats in the bars for hours is wrong. However isn't the square in the centre of Albufeira actually called "Jardim publico de Albufeira" in other words a public place where people can sit in the shade under the big tree and have for decades. Nothing annoys me more when you see people nursing the dregs of a coffee or the froth in the bottom of a beer glass, when you would like to sit and have a meal or a drink but all the seats are taken. As Perry suggests they are better off sitting in and around the square on public seats rather than strangling trade to the bars and restaurants
