well in 2 weeks time i will be back for my 2nd visit CVO and im wondering does any one know of any water parks locally that are open 8th march.Most of the big ones seem to be shut.Or good swimming spots indoors in case weather ify!Keeping an eye on restuarant forum as well!

hello Tex, the water parks don't normally open till Easter so I think you'll luck out there; and the day temperature has only just started to get up to 20dgs again so the ground is still pretty cold which rules out domestic swimming pools.
Silves has a nice public indoor pool, over the bridge & turn left.

Hi Tex, the main water parks usually open around April, but Zoomarine opens in March if that's any help?

The pool in Lagao is nice, it's behind the bus station. You have to wear a cap and poolside shoes (flipflops are fine). From memory, it's aroung €2.50 for an adult.

Tex, the best waterpark is free, open all year round and a few yards from the square in CVO. Enjoy.

Monte Santo has a really nice indoor swimming pool complex with spa and gym for the energetic

Will add the pool at Vale d'Oliveiras to the list

Thanks everyone for your replies..all noted!
