E & A RFC toured to the Algarve in Portugal for their rugby tour in 2001 where their evening at Loulé RC was a memorable, (or not so!) part of their rugby tour. The Club house at Loulé resembles a bull ring and has witnessed many rugby touring traditions. After having visited Galway & Barcelona the two previous years respectively this tour was another fantastic venue with the lively ‘Strip’ in Albuferia near to their hotel being the focal point for most evenings out.
