A bit late sorry, but Yes 🍍🍕

Really looking forward to this one, and for a variety of reasons. Moyes will be keen to get one over on his former employers with an emphatic win, and to finish above them in the table come the end of the season. He will also be eager to silence those amongst the travelling support who gave him...

Hi. First post on here. Carlos Alcaraz reminds me of David Moyes' signing of Lucy's Paqueta for West Ham from Lyon in 2022. Moyes was a bit cautious about playing the Brazilian from the start of matches at first as his sometimes outrageous latino play acting and flair meant he could be a bit of...

Hi Thomasc, all our visitors like a day out in Carvoeiro so have been there quite often over the 7 years we've lived here. Have also been to Ferragudo a few times as one friend in particular likes it there (not my cup of tea to be honest). Our house sits on a hill near Silves with views over a...

Hi WA. My Niece is coming in September too. She and her friend are staying, fully inclusive, at the NAU Sao Rafael Suites between Albufeira and Gale, but will also stay with us for a few days. September is the best time to come to the Algarve as July/August far too hot and October too wet. Her...

Some lovely Hotels in Albufeira. Not sure I would stay in one near the strip though as it would probably be full of young party types. 🥳

Hi Kurt, there's a place we go to at the top of the strip right opposite the International Health Centre (on the roundabout) that does great piri piri chicken. I go mainly for the lamb chops though which they do on the BBQ. Might be the same place. 🙂

😆 Know the feeling well. They're actually cracking down on young ones this year. No bikinis on streets or bare chested young males and stricter monitoring of nightclubs.

Thank you for the welcome woodsyni 🙂. We get regular visitors from the UK and, with them being in holiday mode, they like to eat all that fishy stuff - like squid, octopus and mussels 🤮. While we love having visitors, the first thing we do after we drop them at the airport is go to our favourite...

Apologies @woosyni not used to this site yet and got my bearings all wrong. Thought Tim had posted that. (Me 🤡 ).

It's a place we've never been to Tim. Been to Armacao De Pera countless times for boat trips (with our many houseguests), vets and a nice little rustic restaurant on the beach not far from the Porches end of the town. We have visitors coming in a few weeks and we're always keen to try somewhere...

Thank you @coleman’s mustard 🙂

When I go into the petrol station to pay for my fuel and the person in front has about 50 lottery tickets to get checked. I actually once got stuck behind a person from a local care home getting all the residents' tickets checked and then putting their latest ones on. Was late for work 😡

Hi Tim. We are a bit off the beaten track among the orange groves just outside the town of Silves. We are still only a 15/20 min. drive to the resorts. Our favourite hang out is the seaside district (not really a town) of Gale - fabulous beaches, good restaurants/watering holes. Where do you...

Thank you for the welcome RAFUH. 🙂. Very much looking forward to being part of the forum. Enjoyed the Man. Utd match thread although very annoyed at the late penalty decision.
