There is a huge amount of crime in the Algarve including Carvoeiro but not limited to it in any way. In the Portimao area there are dozens of 'Forced entry' reports every day. I personally know at least six friends who have been burgled during the last couple of months. Don't leave valuables anywher...

I cannot agree more. The parking situation was awful, we had to drive around for over 20 minutes to find a 'Pavement' to park on and goodness knows what happened to the catering situation....last year we had the 'Cornish Pie' people and additional catering facilities whilst this year it seems we had...

Don't forget that if you are outside the UK for more than 12 months you must de-register your car with DVLA and matriculate it here so if you are driving around in a car with Uk plates and have done so for more than 12 months, even if you have a local MOT and UK insurance........you are not legal.

What I said was that IF they do manage to build a track ( And I have great doubts too ) then phase one is already set for the International Kart track ( I Can't wait ! ) . These engines easily exceed 25Krpm and are extremely noisy. Go to any of the tracks near Lisbon any day and you can hear the noi...

You have obviously never lived near an International Kart Track ( Not Almansil Fun Kart type but a FAA/CIK track ) The intention is to have the Kart track up and running early on as this generates a lot of income from 'Tourist and corporate racing' and also to have the track open 365 days a year for...
