Is there a train station at Lagoa - think it might be north out of town?

Any info. re. destinations ie. to Portimao, Lagos, Faro etc., prices, are trains reliable? Can't be any worse than UK - can they?

Thanks to anyone who can help

silves is the nearest..halfway between lagoa and silves.look at www.cp.pt
its the web site for railways..carriages are very clean and if your over 65 half price tickets..eg silves to portimao about 1 euro

I think Estombar's station is closer to CVO, especially if you are located to the westside of CVO (Monte Carvoeiro/Sesmarias)

true but estombar is just a stop as opposed to silves which is a station...ie more trains stop there

think it might be best to go to a station then Otherwise we could end up on wrong train My Uncle did say there was a train station at Lagoa so don't know what he was looking at if it wasn't a train station Maybe he had his beer glasses on as usual

there is no train station at lagoa...its about 3 miles from lagoa more or less half way to silves.

Find the Portuguese Railways website: timetables, fares, the lot.

Maybe your uncle was thinking of the bus station at Lagoa and not trains. The bus station at lagoa has buses which go all over the Algarve and to Lisboa etc and you may find it has a more regular service to some places than the trains and that the bus stations are in a more convenient location than the train stations which are nearly always out of town. Just a thought!

We have taken the buses from the bus station at Lagoa so he knew it wasn't a bus station whatever he saw but he does have a habit of speaking Spanish in Portugal too

Thanks to everyone for the replies.
