Algarve or Ibiza Town?

Travel Info
Hi there!Me and my mate want a beach long weekend break and are considering those two locations. We want to avoid tacky places and generally the whole England transferred to a resort reality this is why we are going for Ibiza town instead of Saint Antonio. But we are also considering Algarve-Albufeira...Which of the two places would you recommend?In few words we want; a nice beach, nice scenery and good nightlife We don't want; a place where beans on toast will be available as part of the breakfast option :-)

Travel Tips

To be really honest I would skip both of these places is the idea is to get a place where beans on toast will be available as part of the breakfast option!

Overall Algarve will be less touristic then Ibiza but it's still one the main summer destinations for the UK people, no?

In Spain, I would rather try Menorca (Formentera would be even better!); in Portugal (Algarve) I would give a go to Lagos

I suggest Algarve, it麓s a beautiful place, many tourists there of course, but the nightlife and the beaches are great. The island Ibiza is a place for youth who party all the time and drugs are used to the extent that it麓s just dangerous. There is just more to see in Algarve than in Ibiza. My suggestion is definitively Algarve. Have a great weekend break.
I think that the Algarve has a lot of what you want- beautiful sandy beaches that stretch for miles, interesting scenery and whitewahed villages- once you start to explore its easy to see the traditional Portugal behind the more touristy areas. At night there are lots of different clubs and bars to choose between and the Algarvians love to party so you should meet lots of locals as well as other visitors- assuming that you don't choose somewhere reallly touristy for example an Irish theme pub!

Having said all that Albufeira is the most touristy, full English breakfasty bit of the Algarve (along with Portimao)! If possible I'd recommend that you go a little further west perhaps to Lagos or Carvoeiro- there's still lots to do and great beaches but they have a lot more character.
