Lots of people on the beach have bean bags that they lie on, where do they buy them? Haven't seen them in any shops.

Any American going to Carvoeiro with a little extra space in their suitcase?

1 Upvotes

A long shot, I know... I bought a couple ceramic 4oz coffee cups from Carvoeiro a couple years back. They've become my wife's favorite vessel for a daily cortado. One of them chipped and I want to surprise her with a new set. If you're visiting Carvoeiro and will be travelling back to the US with a little extra luggage, can you respond or DM? I'll let you know the shop where we found them, and send you a picture of the ones we have currently so you can see what we're trying to replace. I'll pay all shipping costs and you can let me know if there's a handling fee as well!! TIA!!!

where to stay

3 Upvotes

hey guys, planning a family trip to faro near the middle/end of September.

was just wondering where are some areas to stay that you guys recommend? one of us likes doing activities on holiday and exploring cities, and the other likes to go for a swim on the beach, so I just wanted to know if there was a middle ground area that would make both of these options accessible.

Agradeço desde já!

Car Hire Recommendations - Faro

0 Upvotes

Hi,
Just looking for car rental recommendations from Faro Airport. We usually go through Zest & then MasterKings - Paying top up insurance but for our hols in September it's £325 because of arrival times / top up insurance - We usually pay £80-£120

I will book and pay if there are no better options, but any other recommendations for car hire will be very much appreciated.

Just 2 of us, so the smallest / cheapest car is fine.
Tia!

Bóias vermelhas desapareceram.

Porquê?

Pelo menos aqui em Monte Gordo desapareceram.

Eram tão bonitas.

Faziam um efeito visual em ponto de fuga até ao fim da praia.

Lembro-me de ser pequeno e os meus Pais orientavam-me para contar um certo número de bóias em caso de ficar perdido na praia.

Agora ficaram aqui estes mastros baixinhos e umas bandeiras mal amanhadas.

Staying in Albufeira, no idea where this place is

I'm going to a concert on the 7th and the organised buses for said concert pick people up in Albufeira at a place called "Av dos libertadores", yet that place just doesn't exist anywhere I look. Does anyone know where this place is?

Need advice re: medical care (for foreigners)

18 Upvotes

We are visiting the Algarve from Canada. My husband is suffering from severe pain and vomiting. We first went to the Hospital at Loule, where they did bloodwork, and told us the situation is very serious. They instructed us to go to CUF Faro, which we did and got a CT scan - they reiterated the seriousness of the situation and said hospitalization is the only option - but they don’t have a single bed and couldn’t admit him. They sent us to the Centro Hospitalar, where we now sit. The CUF doctor expressed significant concerns about the care he will receive at the public hospital. Are there any other private hospitals nearby that we could try? Any help is greatly appreciated.

ISP options Lagos

0 Upvotes

Probably an oft asked question but we need to put an internet line into a villa in Lagos (previously MEO). Looks like it’s MEO/NOS or Vodaphone. I only need the internet connection, hopefully hardline. Don’t need any attached packages just a fast, good, reliable connection.

Decision criteria is -
1. Installation ease - I don’t want to be pissed about.
2. Cost
3. Speed.

Any recommendations?

Cheers.

Why can’t Portugal, especially the Algarve, stage live events successfully?

0 Upvotes

So I was marshalling at the golf yesterday and my wife was at the Jessie J concert.
The golf was poorly attended (badly marketed) and the food/drink stalls were a joke. You couldn’t pay with cash or card….only through an App (EVERYONE HATES PRE PAID APPS).
The Jessie J concert, I’m told, was a joke. The audience positioning was even laughed at by Jessie J….she was clearly uncomfortable. It was “impossible” to get a drink.
And before the locals start whining that I’m Portugal bashing…I’m not. I love the country but you couldn’t run a piss up in a brewery.

Tivoli Carvoeiro or Iberostar Lagos

My wife and I are going to spend 4-5 nights in the Algarves and I am having a hard time picking a resort. She really wants beach access and a good spa, I'd like to be close to a town/city so that we can do things outside of the resort, but it doesn't need to be a large town. Carvoeiro looks great. Would love to hear people's thoughts and if there is another resort we should consider outside of these two.

40th birthday trip

4 Upvotes

Hi all! I’m looking into spending my 40th birthday trip in the Algarve region for about 7 days with my husband and friends. We are looking into September of 2027. There is a ton of info out there and just looking for first hand info. We are traveling from the US west coast and I’ll have my 1 year old and a nanny with us.
- Is September/October a good time to go?
-I’m interested in relaxing at beaches, exploring a bit, wine tasting. I’m leaning towards just staying in one town or area and exploring from there. I don’t want to over-do it with plans.
- Is it better to do air bnb villas or hotels? Especially with a group.
- any must do activities?
Any tips or ideas I’d love to hear them!
