Re: shopping

Espaço Casa, a few units down from the Chinese shop that laserblazer mentioned, has a great selection of pretty much everything. Cheaper than Casa but the quality may not be as good.

Re: Escondidinho (Casa do Pato)

Thanks Cumbria Sue, will certainly go and check it out now. RE: Previous post Apparently there are 2 restaurants called Escondidinho and we obviously went to the wrong one for the all-in menu. We tried the one on the beach at Ferragudo by mistake. Have now been 'put right' by a friend and will be v...

Re: Aptamil follow on milk

I think Baptista in Praia da Luz has follow-on milk in cartons, but don't know the brand. Best to contact them: http://www.supermercado-baptista.com/?page_id=13

As it says the website is under construction, I would say it is a clever person who is doing it :o
Or rather it's the default content until the website is edited!

Is that the one just past the italian, before the exit to the passage way where the vets is?
That's the one tricky.

It was closed when I walked past, is it only open for dinner?

Re: Ponto de Encontro, or something like that!

Thanks Steve, yep it's definitely open. We went there Friday night to try it out - too close to home for any excuse not to. We sat outside and were told that a lady from Albufeira had taken it over. We went for the €10 special for 3 courses: a choice of about 5 starters, three mains (that night was ...

Pickwick you have completely misunderstood what I was saying. There are two very different discussions here: one, whether there is a 'drug culture' in Carvoeiro (like EMM says, supply and demand), and two, that these scumbags are a nuisance and are approaching tourists, be it families with young kid...
