Re: New experience

We saw a couple whilst we were over in July - the seagulls had great fun chasing the first one all the way down to the beach - hope they got it :lol:

It made me wonder what sort of pervert was flying a drone over the swimming pools of the villas on the hill up from the Jailhouse :?

Re: Tipping

I always tip providing the meal and service is acceptable. The amount depends how much I have enjoyed myself at the establishment and is a statement of appreciation.

Halfway up Restaurant Hill, on right - just past Casa Algarve and before you get to the Mirochoro Hotel.

Re: Faro for the day

Went to the beach at Faro last year - to be honest, I thought it and the town was a bit dreary and scruffy.

Re: Best places to eat in Carvoeiro

Found a new one this year - Casa do Pao - was superb.

A whole dressed crab and bottle of red wine for €20 :)

Re: Mar D'Fora (ex O Boteco)

We ate there a couple of weeks ago. The new decor etc is beautiful - feels and looks clean and fresh. Food was super - cost was a little higher than other places - I paid €85 for 2 people but that was 3 courses each plus bottle of wine, 2 coffee liqueurs and beer.

Re: change (again) in traffic direction

It's chaos at the moment - they changed it yesterday and there are new signs pointing which way to go but as yet, there is no "No Entry" sign to stop cars going down the last bit.

Re: O Boteco

For many years this was one of our favourite restaurants despite the poor reviews - we always had good service and good meals and the kids were always entertained by the waiters. I admit it had gone downhill over the last few years and we have not been there for the last 3 years. However, we are bac...

Re: Night time attack & robbery

I wonder if the majority are close to the main roads - the N124 out towards Rocha Brava as an example. This would make it easier for them to get away by having a car or more than one waiting for a quick getaway. Down by the main beach and Monte Carvoeiro it's more of a maze and they are forced by on...
