Re: Dog Shit !!

There are wild/unowned dogs all around the area not just causing a mess but barking, howling and fighting through the night. I can only presume the people who feed them live in another part of town! We live on a route to the cliffs (take care walking there DS all over the place) and the dog mess is ...

Re: Car Port

I can only relate my experience and the advice provided by a property developer, a builder and the car port company which was, that as it is viewed as a temporary structure - being timber and without sides, that no planning permission was necessary. If you live on a complex there may be restrictions...

Re: Original Restaurant (near the Windmill House)

Original has closed as the lease had expired and the owner of the property is wanting to turn it into a nursery. That's what the family who ran it were told - pity, the food was good value and the house red very drinkable!

Tony's CVO

Had coffee at Tony's next to the old Harry's Bar today - very reasonable - two coffees, water and large slice of lemon meringue
5 Euro. Menu also very reasonable - mainly remember a large beer was 2.50! Also have a roast of the day.

Re: Carvoeiro Clube - New Development

Thanks for the pic, now I know which development you mean. They have been in that state for a couple of years and I presume the developer has either put things on ice or gone out of business like many of the speculative builders! I presume you could find out what is to happen from the Camara if you ...

Re: Carvoeiro Clube - New Development

If it is the plot of land between Finisterra and the road that the tennis club is on then they are building houses. I understand there will be only 4 or 6. I don't believe that proposed development was ever a starter - just looking at the land land I cannot understand how they would have created a m...

Double Bed and Mattress

Sprung base and mattress size 195 x 160cm - make Climax (yes yes!) but a good quality Portuguese make.

No marks, hardly used as in a spare bedroom. Selling due to us having a larger bed so all others moving along one.

Carvoeiro - offers around 150 Euros.

Re: World Telecom

Shanagarry,

I did notice when trawling the web for something the other day several sites on the theme of 'unlocking your xxx mobile' Maybe if you google it may come up with something.

Cheers,

Re: World Telecom

Thanks TCS. I am looking at a package that includes wireless broadband (16Mb), line rental, unlimited free calls to UK, Spain and Portugal (08 prefix numbers not included in the UK) and a free mobile with 10 Euros of calls each month. This is 52.08 plus IVA month which compares very favourably with ...

World Telecom

I am thinking of changing from PT/Sapo to World Telecom as the deal for broadband, calls, line rental and mobile is far less. Does anyone have any experience with this company before I make the jump?

many thanks

Certainly plenty to choose from - thanks to all for your comments. I know this question does arise often but although we have been in the area for some time, we usually have the Frango out of town but our friends want to be in Carvoeiro - it's walkable and plenty of wine is likely to be consumed!

Chicken Piri Piri

We want to take 10 friends from the UK for a good Chicken Piri Piri in Carvoeiro at night. We would normally go out of town and whilst Chicken George is good, we need somewhere with more choice of wine. Any recommendations?
thanks
