Re: Fiscal Representation

Our solicitor was Graca Palhao , in Portimao, did a good job & did our Prtuguese Wills & is now our fiscal rep...we had used Sovereign for fiscal rep, but they were pricey for what was done. Graca & staff speak v good English. Contact Carla Vilhena her secretary at : legal.assist@gracapalhau-adv.com...

Re: Car hire

I have used YOR for some time and have been quoted 367€ for 40 days in November/December....having read the above, I just had a quote from Zest for £697.....so i will be straying with Yor. The last couple of times we have had almost new SEATs with under 2,000 kms on the clock.

Re: Car hire

Zest is a car trawler site and is OK....but it then depends which firm you then choose....some are off-site and use shuttles, which I have found time consuming, others charge for a full tank of fuel, whether you use it or not...make sure you read the small print!

Re: Walk Monday 20 March 2023 : Montes de Cima. CLOSED

As it was our last walk, I ignored my usual rules and we had 25 walkers and 20 lunchers and 3 dogs : Bertie not liking the hot weather any more than the wet! We were soon down to 23 walkers as Susan thought she could walk and talk and see where she was going all at the same time : the multi-tasking ...

Re: Walk Monday 13 March 2023 ; Ourique.

A gloriously sunny day, but only 12 walkers in the end due to cancellations, 4 dogs and 9 lunchers. Poor Bertie was feeling a bit poorly, so went back with Mags:

Walk Monday 20 March 2023 : Montes de Cima. CLOSED

Walk is now closed. Just over a year since we did this. We did a recce the other day and unfortunately (?) can't now do the first hilly section as it's cordoned off. It's still a very pleasant 2+hour walk which we will do in opposite direction for a change. Fortunately, the Honey Cafe is now open on...
