After being nagged by my 8 year old daughter can i ask the following - where are the nearest shopping centres and are there any toy shops in them. Thanks

Algarve Shopping at Guia. Although I can't actually remember a toy store specifically there are children's shops there, which may sell toys

The Supermarket at the Guia mall sells toys, don't know if that would be any good.

isn't there an imaginarium there? Its the toy shop with two doors a big one for big people and a little one for small people. I thought there was one. Its not very big though

There a number of toy shops in Algarve Shopping. Your daughter will enjoy it there, plenty of things to do.

Yes try Algarve Shopping but there are a number of interesting toy shops in Lagos. We usually go to a little shop named 'Obrigado' which has unusual wooden toys which we buy for our grandchildren. Probably a bit too young for an 8 year old but some of the surrounding shops do have things for that age group
