Re: Faro Car Hire - Electronic Device

We have been using the 125 for the last 3 visits as during the off season it is much quieter.
Undecided what to do for the next visits but will certainky be leaving Carvoeiro earlier to allow for the much heavier traffic.

Re: Carvoeiro beach to be closed

When this was done on the main beach at Albufeira a few years ago, tens thousands of large very sharp sea shells were dredged up with the sand.
This made the wearing of some form of shoe wear essential if you wanted to avoid the risk of cuts fo some time.

Re: Samsung 32" flat screen tv

Good luck anyway.

Re: New Look Tia Ilda

I do not know about the service but the prices have certainly gone up.
It will be interesting to see if there is a premium for sitting on the terrace.

Re: A Tasquinha Lagoa

If true we will have to give it a try .
We can remember the " old Phoenix nights " one year they had a young Portuguese guy working there who somehow always got us to stop for a drink.
Being two drinks for the price of I may have had something to do with it.
