Janet and John go to Portugal - again!

the silly part is everyone sees these adaptions and improvements yet the big converters dont take any notice and keep chucking the same old thing out . does make you wonder . do they really care about their products .
 
We’ve just had a fantastic meal at the Brazilian restaurant ‘Picanhas Grill’ close by the campsite:

Picanha's Grill, Luz - Restaurant Reviews, Phone Number & Photos - TripAdvisor

€14.90 for a meat treat that is hard to beat. The waiter arrives at your table with a hot skewer and carves off some of the best lamb we've tasted in a long while: five minutes later a garlic sirloin steak arrives, closely followed by a slice of pink roast beef, followed by wild boar, followed by chicken wrapped in bacon.....etc.... washed down with a bottle of Mateus Rose so we are full and ready for bed!
Quarteria tomorrow.

Nice one John, thanks for info, now on our list of places to visit, we leave UK in October :wave::wave:
:cheers::cheers::have fun:
 
John, if you go to Quateria and then go into Vilamoura, there is a stunning fish restaurant called Fishermans Shack. It's well back from the harbour on the same road as McDonald's under a big hotel with a really noisy British bar on the front, down an alley. I know it doesn't sound promising but I assure it worth finding, it a bit of a secret, my brother discovered it about 9 years ago. If you google it, you will find its exact location.

..... also if you are so minded, wild camping would not be an issue if you were really sensible, we were there for 5 days, no problems at all.

If you just want a day trip and want parking, drive all the way down to the fuel station, get into the right lane, turn right and just on your left is a massive car park for the apartments there which are almost deserted and then just walk through to the harbour.

.... 😎
 
You're making us jealous, John.
We have lost a day with a blowout us we left the Salamanca / Seville motorway. While we're in nice place, it's not home. 350 miles to go.

The tyres have just arrived, but our mechanic has been called out, earlier.
Look up Santa Catarina da Fonte do Bispo. It's between Sao Bras and Tavira, on the N270.
We should be there by Sunday.
Give us a nod if you are nearby. We know an eatery where 10€ goes a very long way.

We have a cottage here and will be spending the winter .
our 21 foot van can just about get up the unpaved lane . Anything longer may find it a struggle.
Tomorrow is our monthly Sunday Gipsy market. the whole place will be heaving between 9 am and 3pm. After that the market place is ok for a couple of nights stop and is an easy stroll into the village for supplies.
We are 400 metres up the lane due north of the market field.

I'll PM you our mobile numbers if you want to text us
 
Five days after eating a dodgy Spanish stew I find myself well enough to use this gadget again!

Cadiz -pronounced kadith - was a fascinating little place that reminded us of Havana, or perhaps vice versa, and it was well worth the detour to the SW. We stayed in El Puerta Santa Anna, just across the bay, which was just as interesting, but don't use the campsite restaurant...





I could still be tempted by a decent cigar...


No pictures of Africa I'm afraid: we stopped at the Tarifa viewpoint as the mist descended across the strait....

In no man's land somewhere along the Costa Del Sol - Calahonda I think!
 
The "Z" in Spanish is a "TH". Zaragoza eg pronounced Tharagotha. The Spanish lisp. The hard Z sounds better to me, The Mark of Thoro, just doesn't ring as well as The Mark of Zoro.
