Thanks for the info, Algarve Eagle and Pato.

Can any one advise ,
Are Auto Jardim still trading from the airport approach venue? Does anybody have experience of a company called Air Auto operating at Faro ?

According to Urban Dictionary it is not an "in joke" but a sexual comment.

Well that is good news to my taste buds, I intend to visit CVO in December and am now looking forward to a great Pizza,hoping all goes well with the ladies knee operation.

Sorry, I understood the title but did not realise they had returned to the same location. Last visit [June 2011] that building was The Taj Mahal...............Not famous for pizza I am guessing.
