We have their basic package at our office, I can't say I'm overly impressed!! It seems a bit vague at catching intruders!! I often forget to put the code in & it doesn't kick off?? We have called them in twice and it is still the same....

It is being reported that the legality of bringing in legislation while there is only a temporary government in place in Portugal is being questioned. I have heard that some time this week there will b an answer as to if the temporary gov is able to introduce the tolls, if it is not then we will ha...

There were diggers working in the taxi rank area this morning.....so only temp.

Good luck to any transfer company that plans to use the EN 125 in peak season!!

We ate there a couple of weeks ago....I wasn't overly impressed. There is nothing in particular I could point out....I'll give it another go sometime in the future.....

You can go the finanças and request your access code "senha" for their website. Once you have this, it is all done online.... Could you do it yourself? Maybe many people do, I personally don't as ALL official paperwork does my head in!

I dont quite understand why everybody is expecting the car rental companies to come up with a solution. When you rent a car in London nobody explains the congestion charge and how it works, and it is the same in other parts of europe. The hirer is left to work it out for himself. When I worked in N...

Saturday night my wife had to call the GNR at almost 1am! They had a birthday party there outside screaming, shouting, smashing glasses in the street! The GNR turned up....it calmed down for 5 - 10 minutes, once the the GNR left....it all kicked off again. The manager was outside on the terrace saw ...

Try Sofa VIP in lagoa for furniture....amazing choice and very good quality. And Radio Popular for LCD's DVD players etc... Both have sites online where you can see the selection & cost.

I notice that a lot of people have 'heard' or 'read' things about the proposed toll but they never (or hardly ever) quote a reference. Just how much 'fact' is in this topic? The trouble is there is very limited confirmed information, and what was confirmed has since been altered. I own a travel age...

I have heard the foreign cars, once the amount due reaches a certain level....fines, interest etc they pass onto the country of orgin with the license plate etc..

Value for money red is EA or Monte Claros both less than 5 euros a bottle........very nice! I don't drink white so no comment there. My wife drinks Casal Garcia green wine, served ice cold is nice & light especially in the summer. She's tried several more expensive green wines, but still prefers Cas...

Beja not so much...but Evora, Monsaraz, Estremoz, Borba are all fantastic wine growing areas. Lots of old architecture, good food, and beautiful countryside. Well worth a visit. Try and stay in Evora fantastic walking tours there and a good base to travel from.

It was Galp that was fined a week or so ago for exactly that...it was on the national news!

Not any more...it is turning quite balck out there. Fingers crossed for Tuesday weather to hold out for part 2
