Re: UK election - what happens now?

I'm not trying to be pedantic, but the Tories did not win the election! Yes, they secured more seats than any of the opposition parties but won only 318 seats out of a total of 650 - or in other...

Thanks capdan, that was all very helpful!
I set up everything with the new sign-on details with no problems, and then set up the mobile app, and was feeling very pleased with myself.

Re: Public Transport - Faro Airport to Cabanas de Tavira

You can take the bus (or taxi) into Faro, and then probably two buses to Cabanas village (via Tavira) or one bus or train direct to Conceição. I'm not sure you can catch a direct bus to anywhere...

Re: BANIF/SANTANDER

Thanks for the tip about the mobile app. I just need to work out how to do a transfer now, as it seems an activation code is sent by SMS, but to local numbers only :(

Re: BANIF/SANTANDER

Well, changes seem to be complete, and everything appears to be OK. One minor issue though, there is lots of text describing how things work. It's all in Portuguese with no English version, which...

Re: Our first bad experience in PT.

Well I'm in the Algarve of course, and the Alentejo is very different indeed!

And, yes I agree with you totally. All the Portuguese people I know think their language is too difficult to learn,...

Re: New Pedestrian Crossing

I think it's unlikely a standard pedestrian crossing would be installed on the N125 at that particular point as it would be too dangerous, as it's effectively the Tavira by pass, and was built for...

Re: Leasing a car in Portugal

I’d go along with most of the above comments, particularly about Goldcar who have bullied people into taking their excess insurance. They are a Spanish company who bought out some smaller...

Re: Places to look at

I think somebody did ask something like this once before :D

Re: New to Driving in Portugal

Whereabouts in Portugal are you going? There is a mix of cash and electronic toll roads all over the country. There are "Welcome Points" for visitors, where you can register a credit card and your...

Re: Faro Airport to undergo a € 32.8 Million expansion

I used to like Faro Airport, and Lisbon Airport too, often busy - but laid back, just like the rest of Portugal!
But, it seems that as with airports in the UK there is now a desperate "dash for cash...
