Albufeira

Albufeira is a municipality in the district of Faro (sub-region: Algarve), covering 141 km² in 4 parishes. Only 22 % of it is forest land (woodland, scrub or natural pasture, according to the COS 2025 land-cover map): there, the strip around each house is 50 m wide.

The map finds 270 villages (groups of at least 10 buildings); the largest are Albufeira, Roja-Pé and Sesmarias. 24 of them have forest land on more than half of the 100 m strip around them — among them Cerro de Águia, Patroves and Várzeas de Quarteira.
