We had the same flying back on Friday morning. Luckily had checked in online & arrived at the airport 2 hours before. When we went up the escalator there were literally hundreds of people. I couldn't really understand why as over the past 8 years there have only ever been a maximum of 20 people in t...

Just an update after from our visit. We booked car hire with Drive 4 Fun through Economy Car rentals. Collection was as normal for us at P4 greenhouse & our car was waiting. Hardly any cars in P4 car park so felt quite privileged even if we did pay 15 euros for the privilege! A lot of other people f...

Thanks for the information.
We are with Drive4Fun this time so are hoping for a quick pick up/drop off.

Just after an update of how the car hire pick up/drop off is going at P4 since the new fees have been charged. Are the car hire companies operating as usual from P4 or has anyone had to be taken off site to collect/return their vehicles? We are coming out next week & am hoping that things will be as...

Yes I'm aware of the French company & haven't the tolls got something to do with Spain (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong).

So is it other countries that are ruining Portugal's tourism with the Portuguese government giving them full backing?

After visiting Portugal 2 - 3 times a year for the last 6 years I'm really struggling top get my head around why ever time we visit there appears to be a new obstacle to what should be a straightforward holiday. After boring our friends with how great Portugal is for the last few years we are bringi...

I'm wondering if this is only the case as people returning today may not have been charged the 15 euros extra? We are using Travel Rent in April & have been told have to give them 15 euros on collection so I'm assuming that we will be able to drive back into P4. As already stated if not this will ca...

I received the same email from Economy Car Hire stating the 15 euro charge to be paid in cash. However collection is still from P4 & as long as it carries on this way I will reluctantly pay this extra charge for the convenience. We have been regularly visiting the Algarve for the last 6 years & it's...

The Aveiro area sounds great. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thankyou, the ruins sound a good option.

Hi, We are hoping fly into Porto & make our way down to the Algarve via Lisbon over about 10 days & then spend a few days in the Algarve. Are there any must see sights, either coastal or inland that anyone can recommend on our way down to the Algarve? Also I've been looking at car hire & finding it ...

Thanks for the Cepsa info. Good to know.

Thankyou, I'll pay a vist to the desk next time we're there.

Hi,

Does anyone know if you can get the supermarket discount/loyalty cards for Minipreco/Continente etc if you are a uk resident?
I always feel I am missing out on some of the offers!

Thankyou

Just returned from Faro & used the Meet & Greet for 14 days at East Midlands. Think it was about £50 but booked quite a way in advance & I found SkyPark Secure the cheapest to book through. I thought it was a very good service for a similar price to the long stay shuttle carparks without the hassle ...
