Hi anyone know of any good place to shop for clothes apart from Algarve Shopping.
Also leather shoes as well [not the retail outlets]

There's a shoe outlet shop on the N125 out of Lagoa towards Porches.

Yes have been to that one in the past its near the DIY store, no I was thinking of small individual shops

thanks anyway

I have bought shirts from Modalfa which is atttached to Modelo, for very low prices, and have had no fit or quality problems. Even brought two back to UK. For designer label I have not found an alternative to Algarve Shopping, and Springfields. My son is a student and buys Aberchrombie & Fitch. I don't have the kind of money I give to him.

I've tried them but is there any shops in Portimeo - little boutiques as such

Barry, what or where is 'Springfielsd'. Thanks Liz

Von Von, I know a couple of small shops in Lagoa that sells shoes /clothes, that are quite 'fashionable'..one is about opposite the post-office, and theres another in same road further up on left handside.


Then as you leave that road, turning left theres another small shop with shoes on the corner of the side road that leads up to the big main church.

How about that shop in CVO(coming from beach) just before you get to Safari? They seems to do quite a lot of nice shoes in there? (I bought some ankle boots in there one winter)

Have you tried market stalls? You can often get a good pair quite cheap?
I bought a pair of heels on one and they lasted ages

There are any number of small shops in Portimao. Even I enjoyed looking around the shops there.

Forum Algarve on the outskirts of Faro has quite a few upmarket fashion shops and a downmarket C&A. Faro has a lot of individual shoe and clothes shops in the pedestrianised area opposite the harbour.

Hi Liz,
Springfieds is upstairs on Algarve Shopping and is a little up market from places like Modalfa. Quality is good but with prices to match. I have now become less designer label conscious. Maybe it is an age thing.

Hi Barry 'Springfields' sounds an ok type of shop, must admitt I don't go for designer labels just good quality at a fair price. Me see's an Algarve Shopping trip coming up, goody. Thanks a lot Liz

some really good sales are on at Algarve shopping at the moment, even at springfields

Hi Ellie and everyone else who has answered this Q of shoe and cloths shops, I will have a look in Lagoa and Portimao when I am next over [only 3wks to go].

The only problem that I have with Portimao, is that I can find my way in to it, but have a problem finding my way out. So except for the large shopping centres, tend to avoid it. Algarve Shopping is much easier.
