Re: Faro Airport drop off

I usually drop someone off at the start off the check in area, as it is much easier for the easy and Ryanair Check ins.
This avoids having to go through the drop off area

Re: Car hire

Our best car hire deal was in 2018 when we managed to get a car for 78 days for 79 euros.
It looks as though the good old days are over with current daily rates.
Perhaps the EU needs to investigate the pricing of these firms as they all seem to be in cahoots with each other.

Re: Utter madness

Has the recent cold weather been the perfect storm with Covid.
Are families being forced to congregate in single homes, rather than heating numerous properties, with diminishing income.

Re: WHO IS IN TOWN?

Well done to everyone who has done the right things and observed the Lockdown situation. We will be out there at the end of October and hope to see you all then. Hopefully, it will be a bit busier then for all the businesses that have missed 2 or 3 months business and some places will stay open a bi...

Re: Lighthouse - Alfanizna

Who knows what goes on at this bar /restaurant, it has the most amazing views in probably the whole Algarve, but the levels of service and quality let it down badly.
Such a shame, as it was only a short walk from Vila Golfemar.

Send My Bags

After 7 months here, it is time to start preparations for returning to the Uk. We have used sendmybag.com for bringing our extra luggage out here and also to send it home. They use DHL to pick our bags up coming out from our home and delivered them 7 days later as planned to Carvoeiro. Much cheaper ...

Found it at last, Brisa Mar details on Carvoeiro Clube property page. Prices look a bit steep though.

Black and White Night

Looking in at the various facebook pages, it looked like a great night was to be had in Cvo. So to my surprise on looking on the webcam this morning, for my daily fix, virtually the whole setup has been dismantled ready for normal activities today. I know the local council get a lot of moans, but so...

Re: Tivoli Refurbishment

So it's opening on the 10th April.
Any ideas for the opening party theme.
My suggestion would be a trowel and towel party!!

Vale do Milho Development

On our exploratory drives around Vale do Mihlo, we noticed a lot of property that appears to have been started but then mothballed. Does anyone have any information on these developments?
