This hidden STAR of Albuferia is a place not to be missed when you are in the Algarve. The bar is…read morerecreation of a House of Shells that was destroyed in the 1970's to construct the Hotel Rocamar. This is a family business so please help keep them in business. Helder Ballote who did all the shell work in the bar recently passed away leaving his brother and son to keep his dream alive. And what a dream it is. Shells gathered from the local beaches are artistically used to adorn both the inside and outside of this little place. The shells literally adorn everything including the bar front, ceiling and even the various places to sit in the bar. They make each batch of sangria fresh and it is excellent. It is a full bar with a big cocktail menu. Make sure and stop by and visit with Ivan and Joao when you are in Albuferia. Also, ALL of the mapping (Google, Waze, and Apple Maps) can't find this place.

When I entered the bar on my first day I asked for the WIFI password ,despite the fact that free WIFI wasn't actually offered, the owner Michael standing behind the counter gave it straight away to me with a smile! As for drinks, they are absolute first class! And have a huge variety that caters for people of all ages and tastes! I love his selection on Non-Acholic cocktails which are perfect for kids! There's also a sence of real cleanliness with a whole white interior with plenty of shaded outdoor seating.
