Is high-speed Internet service (e.g., DSL, cable modem) available in the major towns in the Algarve? If so, what is the cost of this type of service?

No, not as yet and probably not in the near future....webmaster

The only handicap required to play golf at Gramacho golf course and have a drink in the bar afterwards is a FAT wallet,most expensive course and bar drinks on the Algarve.

If anyone is planning a vacation for Jan 2002 do NOT go to Carvoeiro, it´s clinically DEAD! In fact, avoid all of the Algarve. We searched high and low and did not find any decent bars or clubs open with the exception of LSD...

Apologies if I have missed info available elsewhere on the site but I have looked and couldn't see anything. Does anybody know anything about the Colina da Lapa development? We have just booked for 2 weeks June/July. Really looking forward to exploring the area which we do not know. I understand it is a new development - the brochure says "under construction". Is it finished? Any help/input gratefully received. Thanks.

The song everyone is talking about was used in a film staring Richard Gear, in Port. it's called Raiz de medo (and was on last Sunday), but I can't for the life of me think of the English title, of course the "world famous" Amália sang the song yonks ago, but you're all to clever to remember that!!!!

RE: Ilse's singing 'Song Of The Sea'

This great song is (originally?) sung by Dulce Pontes. It is called 'Canção do Mar' and you can find it on her CD 'Lágrimas' (1993). Many other great songs on this album as well. Enjoy!

Best Summer in Carvoeiro:1997 Power at Long Bar, then a lot of socialising at Lennys, round the corner for KAroke with Zeca and then to the Bote for a bit of grooving.Those were the years and they would have continued if it wasn't for the locals complaining at the noise which only went on for a maximum of two months a year. Don't they want the tourists money?Interesting decision, preventing people spending money in your hometown!Well thought out!
