Sorted, not a bad experience, really nice and helpful English speaking lady with laptop!

Thanks for that, I knew about the Multibanco thing but I'm not confident with the language

Hi all, I'm told that there is an EDP shop/office in Lagoa where one can go and pay bills over the counter. Does anyone know the address? I'd like to find it on Google earth before we try to find it on Monday, Thanks

Did anyone else see that pod of dolphins this afternoon, just off Algar Seco?

I agree with Smudger, go and see the man who runs the tackle shop and he will get one for you from the atm in your name. I got one for a week last year and it cost me 5 euros and I bought some bits as well. I fished off the rocks in various spots and caught just an octopus!!! The best place I think ...

This is our first time with BMI and I really don'...

We've just come back home after another rental with Economy Car Hire/Airauto.... couldn't fault it

Check out Leroy Merlin at Algarve shopping, it's like a B & Q depot, they seem to have everything there

Yes, we purchased from him several times last month and we were totally satisfied with the meat and prices, seemed like a nice bloke too!
