If you want the early exit, take Junction 7. They are all nicely numbered now.

Re: Just another rainy monday......

I was wondering: .... I am sure residents and tourists alike would apreciate an unbiased quality-price evaluation before going into a restaurant, rather than having to vent considerable anger about bad quality afterwards. Great idea but we find that one mans meat is another man's poison to add yet ...

We've used Club Direct for many years now. (http://www.clubdirect.com). I don't know if they're the very cheapest, but they're certainly very competitive. Our main criteria is how well any Insurance company handles claims and this is never easy or pleasant to test. I can vouch for this company who h...

It was during the last Gulf War that I was booked to take myself and kids on holiday to Egypt. At the last moment, we though this may be a bad idea and the only thing that the travel agent could offer us was a week in the Algarve. We had never been to the Algarve before. Now we have a villa in Carvo...

Warning

We are already starting to see reports of new spam email and of email viruses using references to the events in Iraq to encourage people to open emails they would normally ignore. For example, the Ganda worm currently being reported in the media comes as an e-mail attachment with subject lines such ...

Wow, thats a big question, and I'm sure there's no simple 1 liner to answer it all, but here are some personal observations to kick start - I'm sure there's loads more.... 1. Be prepared to spend most of your next holiday out there house hunting. You'll want to visit a number of villas to get a feel...

I agree with Abbo, these are by far and away the most convenient times for short breaks. We use these flights about 5-6 times a year, and while you can get cheaper (Monarch, EasyJet etc) they don't have these convenient schedules. And in the years we've used this flight, when the departure board at ...

The road from Lagoa to Silves has indeed had major construction and (in my view) improvement. I don't think that it has seriously ruined the countryside (not any more than any roads do ) as they seem to be landscaping the surrounds to the roads quite well. OK it'll probably take a year or two before...

The new Motorway

Arrived at Carvoiero yesterday. Came in on the new motorway. Its fantastic ! As you exit the motorway, big signs to CARVOIERO 8) But be careful, just as you need it, the sign to Carvoiero itself runs out, and you need to follow sign to Lagoa SUL and not Portimao. You then land on the 125 heading Eas...
