Re: Passport control

Thanks Carolyn
We fly out Wednesday morning, so fingers crossed it’s a little quieter this time.

Passport control

We were over in July and the wait at passport control
on arrival was horrendous.
Does anyone know if they’ve improved.

Re: Supermarkets

Thanks for the replies.
Rocha Brava looks like an option only 5 minutes away as we're staying on ADM.

Supermarkets

I know this question has been asked before, but can't find it.
Won't get to Carvoeiro till around 10pm, just wondered if any of the larger stores will still be open.

Re: Algarve Travel Association

Any news on what's happened to Ron Young, when we were out last week his office was closed and for rent.
Seems strange we used him many times in the past with no problems, but not rented from him for a few years now.

Re: Mosquitoes

Wife been using tropical strength deet with no success, last night after we returned from town she was sat on balcony wearing socks and wrapped in two towels and the little blighters were still after her.
Think it's the high temperatures and lack of wind, only light breezes at the moment.

Re: Mosquitoes

They're ravenous at the moment, both day and night. We arrived Saturday and my wife already has over 20 bites,
and that's using mosquito spray and wipes, nothing stops them!!
The bonus is they leave me alone and head straight for her.
