You may think I am either stupid or teaching grannies to suck eggs, BUT did you know that the underground carpark there has colour coded spaces? Nor did we!

We usually only use the outside spaces, but on wet sunday, parked underground at N7. Having done some shopping, returned to N7 but no car! More worryingly, it was adjacent to a ramp and the Up escalators, where we thought we had come in.

Anyway, after trudging around in a couple of inches of water, asked a nice employee to help as we thought the car may have been stolen. He asked what colour the N7 was ; we didn't know. Anyway, he took us to another N7, some distance away, and there was the car. Much relief!

I hadn't realised until some friends did as you did and lost their car and mentioned it. I think the same applies in Portimao and that car park seems much bigger with greater potential to lose the car

Aqua in Portimao is the same and there are 2 levels of parking, so lucky you were not there. Would keep you occupied on a wet day, could make it an indoor walk.
