If anyone wants to donate anything to the dog home and is leaving it at majas you can post a reply here and i'll go around and pick it up - i go there quite often so no problem at all to deliver it. Plus it'll give me an excuse to have some Cajun spiced batatas bravas served with garlic mayonnaise a...

If the moderators or site owner are going to allow this sort of gratuitous advertising, maybe we ought to start a special thread where all restaurants and local businesses can advertise their businesses. How can this possibly be regarded as advertising ?? I have zero financial interest in Majas - I...

If anyone is interested Majas opens again on the first of April (next tuesday), here is the email they sent : Re-Opening Night Tuesday 1st April 2014 Broccoli & Blue Cheese Soup Creamy Chicken & Vegetable Crust Chilli Salmon Bake Salmon fillet marinated in lime, chilli sauce & coriander Sri Lankan L...

Thanks for the recommendation - he's here now and let me back in as no matter what I done I couldn't get the key to turn in the door. His number has changed to 916 008 008 though.

80 euros to get back in, including call out fee - can't complain given its nearly 8pm Friday evening!!

Here is the one in Silves - http://www.countryridingcentre.com/

Here is a bunch of other ones in the algarve - http://pt.meravista.com/en/algarve-info ... ng-algarve

There is one over Silves - if you were driving there from Carvoiero, you'd normally drive over the bridge then turn left towards the centre of Silves. Turn right instead, its about a mile or so along the road, on the left.

I know the house well, go way past the two speed bumps for two or three kilometres to the mini roundabout and it is the house on the left before the mini. You can only see a double green gate. Used to be a derelict cottage but now is a beautiful house with a lot of land, belongs to a doctor from ca...

lol, don't give up your day job

I had a quick look on the way out tonight but it was far too dark by the point - i did drive over the two speed bumps but couldn't really see anything on either side.

Will take a proper look tomorrow or the day after.

Hi Octopus I am pretty sure this house is the one at the top of the hill as you come from the Fatacil, Lagoa towards Marina Beach etc. If you head from the Lagoa Galp/Carvoeiro traffic lights on the 125 heading east towards Faro and turn right at the Fatacil traffic lights then keep going straight ...

Hi, thanks for the reply. I was on my way to the supermarket earlier and decided to take a detour and drive around Salicos. The area itself looks good... nice houses but close enough to the restaurants etc of Carvoeiro. I'm not sure exactly where the house is as its just listed as "salicos" so could...

Does anyone have any thoughts on Salicos as an area to buy in? Looking at a house online, not sure exactly where it is so I'm just looking at the general area for now.

I'm looking at it on Google Maps and it looks quite near to Poco Partido... that is a bad area isn't it?

Thanks for the replies and messages. Just went along there to lose at darts and Aaron said they have Dave from the jailhouse booked so all sorted

Sometimes I can't help myself... Goats cheese for starters in Majas. Then the chicken noodles for a main course. Then when the question came in would I like a desert.... I said yes thanks very much I'll take a steak pie with mashed potato. It's not only me that orders multiple main courses is it :lo...

I'm sitting in Harrys Bar right this minute and they've asked me where they can hire a band for new years evening as they haven't found one yet. They are looking for a lively band, any suggestions?

I just ate the exact same meal in both oindiano and paradise on consequitive days...the difference in quality is bordering on embarrassing. Paradise was extremely poor in comparison.... I can't understand why anyone would eat there when oindiano is 5 mins walk away. Neither are cheap, but I left oin...
