Re: no draught beer

The mark-up on wine is common wherever you go - sometimes a reasonable increase and sometimes scandalous. Usually, house wines are quite reasonably priced and drinkable in Algarve restaurants and bars in my experience. One thing we did find early on is that 'national' white rum is cheaper than genu...
