Does anybody know of a English book exchange or something in or near Tavira? A bit of TV & Radio withdrawal symtoms are appearing!

Hi K
Not sure about your area,but when I lived in Algarve,the best source of english books was the charity shops.
I bet there is at least one in Tavira.
I used to stock up at about 30 cents each,then take em back and buy more

Thanks Cleri,
Found an English bookshop that sells second hand stuff as well as new - very nice shop too. Just takes a bit of time to suss all these things out!

Brilliant! Im envious

Overe 'ere we go to the Sunday markets and they sell books for 4 euros and you can take them back when read and get 50% back .... don't you have markets like that there?

Not up here.....Algarve yes.

Don't keep it to yourself then - where is it?

HI,

where I'm in Ayamonte but will travel for new reading material arrived in march and have now read every book I bought over.

Book shop in Tavira, A Lura Dos Liviros, Rua Poeta Emiliano da Costa, or in English when you cross the Military bridge pass the pizza place and turn right, on the left there is a bar called Dom Manuel, it is on the right near there. Heres a tip when you are giving directions always mention bars, it works for me.

Cleri, there is a Brit bookstore listed on this page:

That is a great site to find restaurants, etc....too. I've used it quite a bit over the years.

Why thankyou lippie

Hi there
Please can you tell me which one is the Military Bridge?
Thanks

Its the tacky road bridge just along from the Roman bridge.

Thank Chopper,
Didn't know that's what it was called, learn something new everyday. Must say i like the more descriptive title - Tatty Road Bridge, might just stick with that.
Thanks again

I'm told that it was built yonks ago as a purely "temporary" measure. Can't remember when, can anyone oblige?
