Re: Euros - Larger Notes to Smaller Notes
Large € notes are closely examined as they are forgeries circulating. Also read some time ago, anyone with large quantities of €100 and €500 notes were looked on as money launderers!!
Says something about my financial position...........never seen a €100 note let alone a €500 note

Re: Tempo Bistrot - Ferragudo
When it was Barnard's there was a small bar beside it to the left as you look at restaurant from road. We'd gone into bar as when we visited Barnard's it was closed! We'd heard they did very good freezer orders. When we passed by last month, looked like Tempo had taken over bar and knocked through?

Re: Bar to watch FC Porto vs Benfica 12/05
My son-in-law and I usually watch 'local' games in one of the bars just at the start of the cobbled bit of the "In-Road", can't recall the name unfortunately. We also watched a Portugal international game there..........felt a bit daft, we were only ones wearing Portuguese football tops!

Re: We love CVO.
We stay a 45 min walk from CVO centre. Just back after a 2 week break. Home to rain and strong winds (plant pots being blown over). Oh how I wish we were back in the sun...............pass me that laptop to check flights for May!!! Glad everyone enjoys their visits.

Re: Escondidinho
Cumbria Sue, A Branco and Original. Local for us, but would include A Tasquinha in Lagoa for good value daily menu.........difference is the latter not frequented by local builders, gardeners, painters etc. On a good day can walk to A Branco.
