Re: Child car seats

It might help other parents if you named the rental firm. Also did you make your requirement clear at the time of booking?

Re: Rising prices

Nowadays I find the restaurant reviews on Tripadvisor better as they are more searchable, have photos, direct links to maps, opening hours, links to the restaurants' websites and can be filtered. In addition more people can post to them. It's not a matter of apathy from members of this forum but rat...

Re: Diy materials

For basics I'd say Aki (subdiary of Leroy Merlin) in Portimão which also has a Maxmat next door.

Another option can be some of the large chinese warehouses that are popping up in many locations - they seem to do handtools, sealants and electrical items.

Ryanair flights to Faro

Ryanair is to start flights from Southend next summer. One of the routes announced is Southend to Faro - a route already operated by Easyjet so it will be straight competition.

Re: New Security Scanners at Faro Airport

We came back to UK Saturday morning. When we walked into the terminal they had stopped the escalator going up to the security area because the security area was full.

Sen Tonkin

The first time we tried to go here it was full which for a restaurant that had just opened seemed a good thing. We eventually went there this week and it was a lot quieter. It's in Ferragudo - see this forum's restaurant map. Totally vietnamese menu and style. All the staff are friendly and explain ...

Re: Sending paint from the Uk

This could also be a prohibited substance. I agree there is plenty of paint better suited to Algarve climate.
