Albufeira Transportation into and around Albufeira
Posted: Fri October 16, 2009 02:50 PM UTC
I will be traveling from Lisbon to Albufeira. Is it better to take the bus or the train? They both have itineraries that depart at about the same time. I will be coming from the Lisbon airport. Once I arrive, I will be staying at the Sheraton. What is the best way to get to the train or bus terminal to the hotel? Thank you for your help!

Algarve Algarve/Albufeira Work summer 2011
Posted: Mon October 5, 2009 07:10 AM UTC
Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone has picked up any hospitality work in Albufeira or Algarve in general over the busy summer months,
I was looking at coming over from Australia in June/July 2010 and would love to pick up some work down there.

I speak Portuguese and have had 6+ years of hospitality experience, everything from restaurant to nightclub.

I also have a EU passport.

Wild and Co. would be awesome, anyone have any contact details for them?
cheers,
Adam Gregory

Algarve Accomodation in Odeleite
Posted: Thu October 1, 2009 08:12 PM UTC
Hi, I'm sure no-one will be able to answer this one, but it's worth a try. Does anyone know of any accomodation available in Odeleite, between Alcoutim + Vila Real? I mean in the village itself or very, very near. It would make a great stop-off on a walking holiday but I can't find anything.....

Algarve Algarve region in November
Posted: Tue September 8, 2009 09:13 PM UTC
Hi,

Is it worth detouring to Algarve (Lagos, Faro) for a day or two during the month of November (thirk weekend)? I'll be traveling from Lisbon to Seville via bus and learn that I will need a stopover in Algarve region along the way. Is it worth staying overnight for a day or two given the average climate conditions (wet and grey)?

Thanks,

Raymond

I am planning a trip to the Algarve with family members in December. We are coming from the states so any temperature warmer than 32 degrees Farenheit will be fine. Can someone tell me what kind of weather to expect and will we encounter rain. I realize that we will be speaking of averages.

Thank you

Algarve Pestana Viking Hotel, Lagoa (Porches)
Posted: Wed July 29, 2009 02:03 PM UTC
Found a last minute break at this hotel and thought it looked lovely. On Trip Advisor there was one very bad review (most recent) and the rest were very positive. I usually take the TA reviews with a grain of salt - everyone has their own idea of what is good or bad - but I would like to get a few more opinions on it.

Has anyone here stayed at this hotel recently and if so, would you recommend it?

Many thanks

Faro How much will things cost in the middle of September?
Posted: Tue July 14, 2009 01:04 PM UTC
I'm hoping to take a one week holiday in September, and would like to visit Portugal.

How much would I spend in terms of accomodation and food/drink costs? i would probably stay in lower end accomodation.

I'd also like to visit one or two of the nearby islands. Any recommendations for where to go, what to see, where to stay?

can anyone help?

Many thanks,
