Not normally. Bit of a failure on part of FUN :LOL: someone should have said to fill up before going over the border.

Just to add, look for diesel at supermarkets. Cheaper than petrol stations. More supermarkets sell fuel in Portugal than Spain.

Ok people ,, what a result !!!

On a massive campsite called camping albuefera, bloody lovely,, great showers, lovely supermarket, good internet ,,,, and wait for it ...... 17 euros for 2 nights including electric and Internet etc !! Yes you heard right ,,, 17 euros for 2 nights!! I paid that for one night yesterday and to be honest it was crap !!!!

Very proffessional run ( by the look of it) and a bus service every half hour at the gate yo albuefera old town. Bonus !!

Nice sized pitch, water electric on pitch, so things are on the up!!!!

Portugal here we come !! Xxxx
 
Well people, I am in albefura old town,, bus in was 3 mins and 1.2 euros!!

It is bloody lovely here,, shops open all day, lovely little streets!! Lovelier people ( except this geezer who's just mugged me for 2 euros for a coffee) lol. Still tourist prices I guess??

Couple of gypsy musicians playing in the square, one on guitar and one on violin , really good though, very clever!!

Now there must be a few Romanies about cause they keep trying to sell me strawberries !! They even walk round campsites! Still if they make a living, more power to em!!

So I found a tabaconist that sells embassy no 1 so that's a brucey bonus!!

Just found out site does big roast dinners on Sunday's, and has some sort of entertainment every day!!

I have already made my mind up to stay a week or two!!

I think I'm actually starting to understand what Portugal, well the algarve is all about!!!

I think I like it ( even though the coffee is dearer than Spain). Lol. Chat later xxx
 
Watch those travellers ! May be your flamenco dancers cousins!!;)
 
Ist meal in Portugal !!! Gonna go traditional. !!!

Kebab (donner of course)

Coca Cola..

You can't get more Portuguese than that!! And even more,, the shop is Indian owned and run !!!

You have got the old town for the day , and the strip, for night life, plus a beach, wants some beating.

I agree,, from what I've seen ( and I appreciate its a Portuguese Benidorm) I think it's a great little place for a couple of weeks!! I just done some of the old town, I'm saving the rest for another time,, like Friday night!!! Lol. X

Seeing as how you are in to building , it's worth a walk over to the new harbour, past the fish quey just to see all the houses that they started building and now left half built and derelict.
 
Ian I am certain you didnt get that old and ugly without learning a thing or three. However beware the street beggars especially Romanians, as they are often just there to distract you for a pickpocket or to identify you as a target for robbery

Quite right, best thing is carry very little of value, we useualy just have enough cash for the cafe and bar, but no wallets and cards and stuff, if you've got nowt they can't take it(y)

Gypsy market every Wednesday Quarteira. They move you off the Aire there to the parking next door then when market is finished you go back in again. €3 for the day. Free wi fi. €2 for water €2 for electric. Or is it Albufeira you were talking about?

Ian you can walk to old town from that site, just go out the entrance and follow the path on your left, nice walk. Good supermarket just down the road also Pingo or something I think it's called and just a bit further on a big lidal, guys selling oranges just outside the entrance of site. Nice fresh baked bread in the on site super market about 8.30 am, enjoy.
