Someone told me that it has cleaned up and the prostitutes and drug dealers have Been moved out. If this is correct Problem is where have they been moved onto? Never had a drug dealer approach me but yes unfortunately certain bars there you could get offered more than a drink!
Just avoid them. A man pulled up in a car with his young son 10? They tend to ask everyone on the off chance but seems to be all over European beach resorts esp in peak season. We are there at the moment and my husband has been approached twice, once tonight and on Saturday night by the same guy. The first time I asked him what he was doing and he apologised but this time he just glared at me. As said, the so called 'drug dealers' are selling nothing of the sort, so they are ignored by the authorities.
But show me a town in Europe which doesn't have some kind of low level anti social behaviour. Like Steve B we have been going for a long time and never been approached by dealers , what you will find is a few young blokes who work with the restaurants in the squares behind the marina , they will try to tempt you to eat there , they are always polite and worth listening to.
Its a great area to eat. They are there but not parading around the streets. I suppose as mentioned anything is available anywhere. It was the same guy who approached him 2 nights earlier. We too have been going to Vilamoura for years but have never been approached by a drug dealer before! Just returned from here no problems at all for me,ladies of the night in and around the hotel Olympus but only late on in the evening.
