Hi Guys, I'm looking for some information on Portugal have 4 weeks to visit have never been and don't really have any ideas on the different areas / places . I'm looking to draw on all your wonderful knowledge to give me a few ideas, Much appreciated. regards Big Al

Look up a thread on here called, " Spain and Portugal, where are you now".

Do you prefer to follow the coast,moving between Benidorm clone campsites? Sharing wildcamping sites with hoards of vans ? Eating tourist food and drinking British brands ? It's all here, if that's what you fancy.

Or do you want to see the real Portugal?
All the information is on there.
Boa viagem.

Enjoy, we loved Portugal and the people once you got away from the busy Algarve coast.

As you enter Portugal at Castro Marim? you have option to register for motorway charges. Many of motorways have no toll booths and charges are made using number plate recognition
. Worth taking a few minutes to register even although you may not intend to use motorways . Enjoy

We've got enough vans coming down for a brief Algarve mini meet / unofficial gathering.
Well away from the coast, obviously?
Anyone for Ameixal? There's 2 Aires there now.

Hi Paul, I've missed this. Pray tell when ... I'm still in Spain so I'll probably miss it

Don't think anything has been planned carol!

We stayed at the top aire near Amexial last year, liked it so much we went back again a few weeks later.
