What should I pack when moving to Albufeira?
We asked people living in Albufeira to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Albufeira, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for its Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the hot summers and warmer clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the strong sun. You should also pack a swimsuit and beach towel for the beautiful beaches, and comfortable walking shoes for exploring the city and its surroundings. If you plan on dining out or attending events, pack some smart casual clothes as well. Remember to bring any prescription medications you need, along with a copy of your prescription. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit. If you're planning on cooking at home, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or condiments that might be hard to find in Portugal. Don't forget to pack all necessary documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. Lastly, pack any electronics you'll need, such as your phone, laptop, and chargers, as well as a power adapter if your devices don't match Portugal's Type F power outlets. Remember that it's always better to pack light and buy what you need once you arrive, rather than overpacking," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Albufeira, Portugal.
