Just thought I'd let everyone know that Nuno and his Chef Rui Silvestre at Bon Bon in Carvoeiro have just been awarded their first Michelin Star.

Congratulations to owner Nuno and all his staff on this great achievement.

For me, it would be a few pints in the Whitelocks Arms off Briggate, wander round to Nash's Fish restaurant for the best fish and chips anywhere, sorry Libbe, and then stroll up to the Merrion Centre for a great night out at Cinderella, Rockerfella's. Damn, I just got transported back to Leeds in th...

It becomes two way from the entrance to Boteca going up, and two way as far as Boteca car park coming down from Monte Carvoeiro/Kiosk Azul.

Good for business me thinks.

One positive out of the changes is that the new Boetca restaurant will get more passing trade.

I wonder if the owner has friends in high places in the Camara.

What is more of a concern, is the amount of traffic coming down Estrada do Farol, will now be going across the road/walkway in front of Soares/Matabixo to go up the road by Sullys. Pedestrians walk aimlessly around this area or stand on it waiting for the train, oblivious to the cars that currently ...

We're with PT/sapo, and over the last few weeks we have suddenly shot up from 5-6mbps to a constant 10+mbps.

We are on the edge of Carvoeiro clube in Finisteira which is at the end of the line for telephone cables before you drop off the cliffs, and we don't have fibre.

Very pleased

We had the same call, and the same outcome. We can see heavy duty cables wound around several of the telephone poles near to our house, we have had a new plastic box fitted by PT to our garden wall, so the infrastructure is ready to be finished, but PT don't seem to want to do the final work.

Unfortunately 9 seats (driver + 8 passengers) is the maximum allowed in Portugal for a rental vehicle.
