The incident took place last Friday lunchtime on one of Albufeira’s main roads and involved a group of friends who were on a stag-do in the popular Algarve city.
According to reports by newspaper Correio da Manhã a group of around ten Britons had been having a drink on Albufeira’s main bar street when they turned their attentions to one particular member of the party.
He was grabbed, stripped, and tied to a lamppost using Clingfilm with a beer bottle wedged between his buttocks.
The unfortunate victim was then dowsed with drinks and had flour thrown at him in front of dozens of onlookers, some who captured the episode with their cameras and mobile phones.
GNR police were also reportedly at the scene but, after the man was freed, he refused to press any charges and rejoined his friends to continue the celebrations.
It's such a shame that where ever Brits go they lower the tone :-((

I go to Albufeira often and the main bar street in Albufeira which is called Rua Candido Dos Reis. This Street does not have any Lamp posts, the lighting is attached to the Buildings.
I think you may be referring to "The Strip" which is in Montechoro, 3 Km from Albufeira. This resort of Montechoro is well known for Hen and Stag Parties and is very British.
Albufeira is more upmarket and is more for families, couples and some groups of Multi Nationals.
