A few good trips there thanks

Portugal is a big country and Wizard has sort of assumed that you will be in the small area of the Algarve! Where are you staying?

Brisa sol albuferia

I knew that from other post

Yet again, the all-seeing eye of the H.T. Mods has been underestimated !

As well as the ciggies at Ayamonte don't forget the famous towel shops at VRSA on the Portuguese side of the river. Actually I'm joking (unless you really need some, in which they have quite a range). But VRSA is also the starting point for the river cruises and jeep safari we discussed a while back - unfortunately the search option is thowing tantrums at the moment so I can't link to it.

Found the one I was thinking of http://www.riosultravel.com/uk/supersafari.php - the cruise with lunch at the place on the hill looked interesting.

Thank you all I was looking at my home page with Thomson and one of their top trips is wine tasting at Cliff Richards Vinyard.
