Re: Mesa do Cume - Tavira

Re: Barclays Tavira Closing

We have used BES in Tavira for eight years and found their on-line English service very good. The staff in branch are also friendly and all speak excellent English. I would recommend them.

Re: Driving from Calais to Loule 2015

We've done the road trip quite a few times and favour the Rouen/Le Mans/Tours/Bordeaux/Salamanca/Seville route. We generally use the toll roads for ease of travelling and they're quiet.

Re: Fiscal Representative Advice

One way is to have a bank account where you can pay the IMI on line. That way, it avoids having to go in person and so long as you have the reference number for each bill, it's easy to pay with no...

"Courier" Service to the UK

Does anyone know of a "man with van" that travels between the Tavira area and UK regularly who might be able to transport a small box of effects? We are in South Yorkshire.

Thanks.
