Fishing Licence

Does any non resident bother to buy a sea fishing licence? I understand you are supposed to buy one but it seems its not easy to do so. I read on a website that if you do not have a Portuguese bank card you cannot get one from an ATM and you have to go to the nearest office in Olhao. Any views/advic...

Re: What is being built by Aldi

News that there will be two quality supermarkets soon in the area shows there is a lot of confidence in the area which is good news and will offer a wide range of products and quality to all. They will certainly put pressure on the Intermarche and the other one near Lagoa which may improve them too,...

Re: Lisbon Hotel

We stayed at the Pestana Palace which is a little away from the centre but you just hop on one of the old trams. It is a wonderful place with large grounds and a pool.

Re: Advice Please Rocha Brava

Hello
Just seen this post. We bought a quarter share in Atlantic Pint three years ago and have been delighted with Rocha Brava in every way. Now bought a second share. Its on Atlantic Pint which is dearer but the unrestricted view of the sea is worth it for us. We think the rates are reasonable too.

Re: rocha brava resort

We bought 2 years ago and have been really pleased. It is looked after really well and the office has been helpful when asked. The whole of our family use it at different times as it is great for all ages. It's great if you like tennis as there are loads of good players and have club sessions. I enj...

Re: Day trips

We were in CVO last November and it was great weather and on the beach. Even if not there is plenty to do. Also recommend the West Coast as so unspoilt and best when empty. You can visit the small town of Aljezur which is good for a wander round and has a castle. Our favourite beach near there is Pr...

Re: Terroir

We went in March on our next visit and were really impressed with the wines, the team who helped us taste them and the really tasty tapas. It's a really good concept and we went back a few days later just off drinks before a meal at Villa Medici opposite. Great to have a good new place and getting i...

Terroir Wine Bar

Went to this new wine bar in Carvoeiro at the end of February and thought it was excellent. It is opposite Primavera at the top of restaurant hill. They have a wide range of Portuguese wines and pleased to talk you through them and let you have tasters. Found some new favourites. There are tapas on ...

Re: Lack of sand at the beaches

My family are out there at moment and report a bad cliff fall at Centiennes beach that has taken out the area where the tables were and more so certainly not so much beach. Who has seen this?

Re: Bar with the great view?

I posed the original question and went there 2 weeks ago. It is a great view but the food is average and even more expensive than Villa Medici which is much better. Looks ok for a Pizza but try fish and meat elsewhere.
