Albufeira Bus Routes
Any locals out there who can help me with figuring out the local bus routes? I'm a pretty experienced traveller but I have to admit the local Albufeira bus service certainly has me very confused! Any idea how to get from Cerro Mar Garden to Modelo???
Obrigado

I'm not a local, but a regular. It will be useful to look at this bus map Albufeira Bus Maps and notice the tiny arrows. The regular busses (maybe every half an hour) run in large circles, not back and forth. You want to get from R. Malpique or Cerro Malpique Norte to Rot. Relogios. It is a 5 minute cab ride, or a 20 minute walk, but it will take far longer by bus as there is nothing direct, and most everything will require a change at the central bus station, and then it's still a circuitous pathway to get to Modelo - - and then a completely different labyrinth to get back.

Your bus option from Cerro is to walk northeast to Avenida dos Descobrimentos (the main east - west road), walk east to the bus stop, take bus line number 4 from Giro bus ( the little buses that go around town) get of at stop near Rua das Marés ( that's the stop near the watch roundabout) and walk to modelo.
At the modelo location the bus route is one way ( don't go the opposite side of the street ) you can get back on at the same stop and go all way around to get back.
I would either walk or take a taxi if carrying shopping.

Bus timetable Albufeira - Loulé - Faro via IKEA and Mar Shopping
The alternative is to take the bus to the Faro bus terminal then the bus to Loule', but that will eat up many hours:
