Re: Escondidinho

Had the daily lunch menu other day, beef stew. All in 17 euros for 2. Good food, great value. Was very busy with workies which we take as a good sign! It's one of three local places where we can get a decent lunch for 7/8 euros a head.

We were first there but by time left another 3 couples had arrived. Got impression they had been before or had been at the chef's previ...

Re: Quinta dos Vales

Sadly we arrived too late on Sunday to attend open day. Met a chap today who went with his family and had a great day. We tried some time ago to visit during their normal opening times but gates were locked. Would have preferred being behind the lock gates........cannae beat a "lock in".

Re: where can we go this eve for chicken piri piri??

Pato, Emm. Chicken does come already piri piri'd. Guess cater for those who like that added heat! Prefer home made additional sauce rather than a selection of different manufactured sauces presented in the bottles which I got in one establishment.

Re: Ferragudo Taxi Cost

Last time we got taxi to Ferragudo, cost €10 which included a decent tip. We were going from close to Sesmarias and took the non-coast route entering Ferragudo on the 'canal road'.

Re: TOLL FINES

You may have incurred the tolls associated with the next person who hired that particular car. Happened to my son-in-law. He incurred a toll fee 3 days before he returned car. He left forgetting to pay toll. He checked online and got a friend who was over in CVO to go to Post Office and pay the fee ...

Re: 8 Week Tourist Season per year

Just home after a 'last minute' decision to grab a week in the area. Most of time spent in CVO or Ferragudo. Yes many restaurants had restricted opening hours but those that opened seemed to be visited by diners, drinkers or both! Others had notices staying closed for holidays and opening end of Mar...

Re: Map on EN125 - Faro to CVO

We have friends over near CVO at the moment. Before they left I showed them the pdf of the driving instruction from airport to CVO downloaded from this website's home page. I explained to follow guide/signs until the 7.9km instruction and at that sign keep right onto EN125 signposted for Almancil. T...
