Hi there,
anyone who knows about races in Albufeira, Portugal, in the middle of May?
How are the training facilities there, any nice places to run?

Albuferia is where all the football violence was at the last european champs.
It's a very touristy town.The strip is full of bars and clubs.
Aceotais is much nicer,good track and trails.
Only about 20 minutes drive away.
Hope this helps.
If you're staying in Albufeira, you can run along the roads no problems. Plenty of hills. You'd want to stay away from the main strip (traffic). I don't know if there's a track anywhere nearby. Ask Antonio Cabral about races (look up his name and email address in the Renato Canova/lactate threshold thread), and I'm sure he'll fill you in. You might also try Marius Bakken's website or email him, as he was/is training somewhere in the Algarve recently.
