| Fábrica do Inglês: |
The Fábrica
do Inglês in Silves
(about 15km from Carvoeiro going inland) is an old Cork Factory which has been thoroughly
renovated and opened to the public. It now contains several restaurants, a cork museum, an
outdoor scene, a fountain/laser/light show every evening and much more. It is definitely
worth a visit! You will find it turning right after the bridge leading into Silves (coming
from Lagoa/Carvoeiro!), then turning left (behind LIDL).

| New Telephone numbers: |
From the 31st of October 1999
Telephone numbers will change in Portugal, the new numbers are all 9 digits and includes
the area code, with the 0 being replaced by 2. e.g. Webmasters fax before:
(082)341869 From the 31st of October: 282341869
I suspect this is due, to the soon to come ending, of Portugal Telecom's
monopoly on the market. |
| Free Internet
access: |
Both Telecel, (http://www.netc.pt)
and Telepac (http://net.sapo.pt/)
is now offering "free" access to the Internet (you just pay local call rate
call).
You do need to register though, all in Portuguese I am afraid, so it may be a good idea to
do it from home, before arriving in Portugal. |
| As for Carvoeiro.... |
The
weather have been a little miserable lately, but we do need the rain! |
| New Resident's
corner: |
On the Web site.... please
have a look here I have made a new buy/sell section and a section for "Social
contact" e.g. if you would like company for a Card Play or maybe a walk or bicycle
ride in the nature. There is also a Book Club, and more to
come..... |
