Just got a price from Algarve driver and it is £120 more than economy hire which is a massive difference.

We have been twice in the last 10 months, the food is lovely but the owner has a bad attitude and he does not like to accept constructive criticism.

Can anybody recommend a good pool cover company please ?

Hello fellow members.
Has anybody caught the train to Lisbon as we were thinking of having a trip up there. We have been told varying journey times from 2hrs 50 mins up to 4 hrs.

I am also very interested in the possibility of fitting solar panels. I have had solar panels on my roof of my UK property and i have just had a solar battery pack fitted which i would not mind fitting here in Portugal due to the amount of sunshine we have.

I second the recommendation for Dax Gomez 100%

There is a general lack of correct info on this subject. You certainly dont need to spend 6 mths in PT and it also depends on whether you are going for habitation residence NHR (90 days in 183) or full residency which takes 5 years to achieve.

Happy Xmas to you Roy !

Hello fellow members. Does anybody know if you can still receive Sky tv in Carvoeiro ? I know that a few years ago Sky changed the satellite & it became difficult to receive the signal. I have seen a few posts on other forums that if you realign your dish it will receive the signal ok.

It is such a shame that we are in the midst of the horrible virus situation when the Algarve finally gets F1 it has wanted for so long. I hope that it is a big success & that it becomes a regular venue on the F1 tour as it would bring in much needed revenue to the area.

Had fibre optic broadband fitted last Tuesday & now get 200 mbps but still get the odd buffering & signal dropping which i cannot understand as at home we have 38mbps & don't get any of the above

We too have been to Gaspatcho & Migas in Lagoa & found it an excellent place to eat with food with great taste & flavours. The staff were very good & the owner took the time to come to every table to see if everything was okay, a nice touch which you don't always get at other places.

There is a shop in Lagoa that seeks, delivers but not sure if they connect as our property manager sorts all that for us but i will ask him.

I have spoken to people who have had quotes for a 16 panel 4kw saying they were €10,000.
