Inform the taxi driver that you want to go to Rua das Dunas in Guia, Albufeira. The ride should take approximately 30-40 minutes depending on traffic.

• Bicycle

  For the adventurous, rent a bicycle in Faro and take the bike path towards Albufeira. Head towards the N125 road and follow the signs to Albufeira, which is about 30 kilometers away.

• Walking

  While walking to Praia da Galé (Oeste) from Faro is not practical due to the distance (over 30 km), if you are already in Albufeira, head towards the beach from the town center. Follow the coastline north towards Guia, which will lead you to Rua das Dunas. It is primarily a beach area, so look for signs leading to Praia da Galé.
