Re: Seville Oranges

Hi Trish Have never seen Seville or bitter oranges for sale in the local area, we have a friend who uses 1/4 lemons to 3/4 sweet oranges its not a bad marmalade. You could always cheat and get a tin of Marmade marmalade mix from Iceland. Hope this helps Liz

Re: motorhome storage.

Try Vacaria on the N124 between Silves and Messines, coming from Silves the turn is on the right just past the barragem turn, it also has a sign for The Curtain Factory. Don't know what he charges but do know he stores caravans and motorhomes.

Re: Tolls on the A22

Just driven up to Bilbao via Beja for a change. Nice trip, shame about the weather! Is it possible to cross the border at the eastern end of the A22 and avoid the tolls by using the 125 to junction 18 then over the border bridge and vice-versa? :?:

Re: small item UK to Portugal

Thanks for the replies, have had 2 quotes in one fron Direct Transport £295 the other Algarve removals £150, both seem very high for and item less than .5 cubic metre so I think we will bring it down on one of our future trips.
