Value for money is what is on the agenda in The Algarve
Just back from a month in the sun and observatons are that it is busy with tourists unlike what some reports are saying, however there was certainly a desire from everyone to get the best value for their money when it came to eating out.
More and more restaurants are putting on the set price 2 or 3 course meal which is perfect for a family or those on a budget, there is no doubt people are being careful on what they spend.
Typical price seems to be around 7,50 euro per person totally affordable for a larger family...well done to those doing it.
Prices have gone up in the restaurants be it through inflation or less people who knows, I would say the average increase is around 12% which again sqeezes the budgets of vistors, prices for drinks is the same as last year in most places.
We had some great meals and cocktails in one of the hottest summers I can remember and cant wait to get back
If you are in or going to The Algarve then dont be affraid of the cost shop around, up side streets away from the main drag and you will be amazed at what you can find.

4 days in Carvoeiro - cold beer and great food
You could say the weather in mid June was hotter than I expected, walking on Carvoeiro beach mid afternoon the sand was hotter than I have ever known so we jumped onto the boards and they were hotter still, so many newbies lying and frying I guess there were some sore bodies the day after.
The mission was to visit and profile a futher 15 restaurants and bars and add them to our site at http://www.finditalgarve.com/ which is rapidly becoming a focal point for visitors to our beloved region.
The more places we add the better the site gets...make your recommendations and pass our details on.
So where did we eat..first night Elliotts in Monte Carvoeiro usual great food, brilliant terrace and busy. Im a fan of here as it offers an all round great evening with atmosphere and at prices that are reasonable. Followed by drinks in The Cocktail Garden great to see Luis and Catia again, always a favourite.
2nd day a busy day on our feet lunch was pasta at he Cascata Pool bar good value and a pleasant meal followed in the evening by Chicos is Carvoeiro it is 10 years since we have eaten there and the new owners have done it proud turkey rolled with cheese and ham was special and again 40euros for 3 of us - great value.
Day 3 on our feet again taking pictures getting details evening was spent in Chinatown with a full chinese meal spring rolls, duck and main course, its not everyones cup of tea to have a Chinese on holiday but this was exceptional and great value. I was surprised how busy the restaurant was, any more than 2 peiople would have struggled to get in.
The last night was saved for nachos at Ma-Ja's a quiet seat outside, cold beer a good chat with Jan and Mark and great food, well worth searching out on your visit...to cap it all they had homemade lemon meringue pie it just had to be done...done tell the wife. They have now started a lunch and early evening set meal with good choices for 7,50euros, great value
All in all 4 great days and the standard of the Carvoeiro restaurants was top as usual, they just need more people to visit them so have a look at http://www.finditalgarve.com/ for some more great holiday ideas

Ma - Ja's restaurant Carvoeiro - take a look
Having just returned from yet another visit to Carvoeiro we can happily report that the number of people in the town looked high for the time of year in early season, the restaurants and bars were doing good business.
We spent one evening in the lovely quiet Ma - Ja's restaurant in Rua do Casino away from the noise and heat of restaurant hill. To our delight the evening was the best of the holiday with a menu of home cooked fare from traditional English dishes through to Nachos and Tacos - a change from the normal Carvoeiro restaurant offerings.
Better still Ma-Ja's have introduced a set meal with 3 courses and a drink all for 7,50 euros available at unchtime and early evening between 18.00-19.00. Great choice, great food and great value. So for those on a budget or just wanting to try somewhere new Ma-Ja's is worth the short walk.
You can see all the details in their listing at http://www.finditalgarve.com/ the premier directory for the best places to eat and drink around the Central and Western Algarve.
Remember to add Ma-Ja's to your holiday plans when visiting Carvoeiro.

A22 toll decision still in limbo
The decison to implement tolls on the A22 expressway in The Algarve is still in limbo. A meeting as held on the 14th June where a 'strategy' was set however we still await the decision with the forecast this will be made soon. usual Portuguese ambiguity Im affraid.
Opposition parties have already prepared an injunction in readiness so my guess is this has some way to run and we wont see the tolls implemented for this Summer season.
The major concern for the Algarve residents in the effect on the Algarve economy which is highly dependent on tourism. With an avergae charge forecast to be 7 euros from Faro to Portimao the N125 looks like it could get busy should these be implemented.
My personal view is the avaerage tourist to The Alagrve would not be put off by an additional 7 euros to be transfered afetr all it is the price of 2 pints of Sagres over a fortnight...peanuts.
Any comments or views would be welcome
