Re: Camping stove
Decathlon? Or you could try the place on the right, just before you get to Alcantarilha. It's called Brico(something) it's set back off the road in a small industrial estate. Great shop and good prices.

Re: Camping stove
Try the Chinese shop opposite the restaurant Taste I believe I have seen them in there. Good Luck.
Re: Camping stove

Whilst I'm a great fan of the Chinese shops, I'm not sure I would buy a potential bomb there.logicbob wrote:Try the Chinese shop opposite the restaurant Taste I believe I have seen them in there. Good Luck.
Re: Camping stove
Well my brother in law will have the opportunity of trying it first. Well OK, maybe somewhere else then.laserblazer wrote:Whilst I'm a great fan of the Chinese shops, I'm not sure I would buy a potential bomb there.logicbob wrote:Try the Chinese shop opposite the restaurant Taste I believe I have seen them in there.

Re: Camping stove
Continente some times have them but our preference for anything like this is " Bricomania " on the 125 towards Alcantrahila.
It is an very interesting shop with good prices and range of products almost like an old fashioned hardware store.

Re: Camping stove
That's the place. One of my favourite shops. An Aladdin's cave, good prices and the staff are really friendly. They do everything from cement mixers to kiddies bikes.EMM wrote:Continente some times have them but our preference for anything like this is " Bricomania " on the 125 towards Alcantrahila.

Re: Camping stove
Why not just fire up the barbecue?

Re: Camping stove
Intermarche used to have them. They were, as you entered the shop, on the right hand side wall. Continente (Guia) definitely had them last week.

I could fire up the BBQ but you try boiling a kettle on one.
Re: Camping stove
Boiling water on a BBQ is easy peasy if you have a cast iron dish or planca, just place this over the heat ,saucepan or kettle on top.
Not as fast obviously as an electric kettle but it works.
Am I the only one who was in the scouts ??

Re: Camping stove
Take the 125 over the bridge, past the hospital junction and it's the next junction to Portimao Retail Park. Decathlon is at the far right along the main row of shops.
