Natural Calamities That Rocked Albufeira
The town of Albufeira saw human population from the Neolithic age. But it has also seen some devastating natural calamities especially during the years 1532 and 1755. The latter year was more devastating than others because not only was the place rocked by an earthquake; a huge tsunami or tidal wave that was generated wiped out the city completely! But like the proverbial phoenix, the city slowly gained back its economy and popularity. Today Albufeira is one of the hottest tourist spot in the world. It is rapidly expanding its tourist base and is ready to welcome more in the years to come.
