Music sounds good. More upbeat than the Fado music I have heard that always seems rather mournful! We have felt the same about speaking the local language but not made any effort so far as always on short trips and it seems harder than Spanish and French. Maybe a retirement goal but I am sure many h...

It will be a great place for outside concerts so I hope it is well used this season as would like to enjoy the venue. It is another example of the town improving itself. Shame about the jazz club though!

I see they are taking bookings on their website from 4 April so they must be confident of this date. On 14/4 the lowest rate was 230 Euros so they have certainly gone upmarket.

The trip from Carvoeiro along to Benagil is really good. Another is to go to Lagos and take the Bpm Dia boat along the coast to see the unusual cliff formations. The company I know that does the Alvor to Silves trip is Alvor Boat Trips (Luis). Enjoy!

not any more - just not unlimited

Went for first time on a Saturday night. They are digging up the road outside but soon it will be pedestrianalised and will have tables outside which will be good in summer. Very pleasant room and friendly service. Good to have set meal prices and lots of specials on offer, Trilogy of fish excellent...

Excellent thanks. Will look forward to going there in a few weeks

Does anyone know what has happened to it? It was open in November and I had hoped to visit this month but see their Facebook page is down.

Agree with the suggestion about the store on the way to Silves. Has a lot of stock. We struggled to find the type of stores you get in the UK for sofas etc. In the end we bought from Multiyork in the UK and shipped a sofabed over with Algarve Removals at a good price and the quality was far better t...

Another factor worth looking at is when you can check in online. We used to use Monarch a lot but it really irritated me this time that you could not do this for free until 24 hours before you fly unless you paid for it. So I had to hunt around for somewhere to print off a boarding pass in my resort...

This was their smallest boat for 6 people I would say. They have a larger boat too.

Used large white lures for bass fishing near the cliffs and prawn and squid for the bream.

Went boat fishing last week with Luis from Algarve Boat Trips and had wonderful 5 hour session for 45 Euros which included gear, bait, licence and beer and rolls. We drifted for bass by the cliffs but they weren't hungry, then moored in various places and each caught around 20 good size black and re...

Alas not but good thing to do in the winter.

Went along last week to watch the footie and enjoy a steak and disaster! Helders are closed for the holidays until the new year. Had to go along to Algrave 2000 which was not a great experience in terms of footie viewing or eating!
