Guia
An inland town near Albufeira known across Portugal for its piri-piri chicken, with a theme park and shopping centre nearby.
Guia is a small town in the municipality of Albufeira, set inland on the slope of a low hill beside the main east–west road across the Algarve. It has a farming past and an old centre around the parish church of Nossa Senhora da Visitação.
Guia is widely known as the home of Portuguese grilled chicken with piri-piri, and grill houses are a big part of its identity. The surrounding parish also has a marine-themed park and a large shopping centre, so many visitors pass through on their way to one or the other. It is a handy stop for an informal meal.
