Campsite for the weekend, tightish sandy pitches to get on and lots of trees all quite high.
Nice and empty mid afternoon but filled up late afternoon with Spanish for the weekend.
Cooked sausages with the Gnocchi and salad. Used the briefcase and the Barbie plate, used cadac lid to cool cooking, Sadly briefcase does not have good flame control.

Nice secure carpark.Bike ride round the bay across the bridge to the Campsite Las Dunnas and beyond to the marina.Eating at Bespoke tonight ??@park4night : http://park4night.com/lieu/108467/Guarded parking 24 hours. Payment but not expensive. He does not have services. The gas station nearby allows to empty and to have water if it is refueled. Excellent location to visit the city. Access from the roundabout where the Burger King is located#prettyPhoto

@park4night : http://park4night.com/lieu/12146/Nice area shops and affordable restaurants, repair and maintenance here has focus.
Travels from Faro airport, stopped off at a number of parking places none really appealed so we headed into VRS to Antonio. Ok site would be lovely if sunny but overcast and a nut cold 18c.
Had an issue filling with gas but attendant was able to assist although nit happy about it.
Wandered into town and found a ironmongery shop that sold Cortina de Porte, so we bought 2 of them 33€ each.
Met the couple who we had seen at the airport stop, the have been full-time since 2002. No plans to stop, respect.
Stopped for lunch and then headed into Faro to see the Chapel of Bones, now back here to stop for the night. Lovely views but planes taking off every now and then are quite loud.
@park4night : http://park4night.com/lieu/30590/A large and flat car park, no shade and very quiet, except for the planes.
You can come and go to Faro by bus.
A wooden walkway connects you to Playa de Faro, where you can spend a very pleasant day, with many bars where you can recover your strength and a great beach.
The planes are constant, both in takeoff and landing, at night there is a break between 23 and 7 approximately.#prettyPhoto

Chapel of bones, 2€ entry, but worth it if you like bones and overly extravagant religious decoration.

Camperplaats Alvor

A large dusty car park, must be messy in the rain, has 2 MH service pointa but the attendant turns the water off when he is not there.
Lots of long termers and D,GB,NL,F,P couple of large rigs.
Beach is 5 minutes, town 10 minute walk.
We met up with June & Gary who had cycled from Lagos.
Wandered into the town and marina very nice, narrow cobbled streets, lots of cafes had a nice meal.
Walked length of the beach in the evening watching sunset.
Next day we took a bike ride to Portimao, road virtually all the way. The bikes performed very well. So far we have cycled 12 miles and eco is still showing 80 miles so battery size is good. Portimao was pleasant another coastal town. Had lunch at a beach restaurant we passed on the way in Jacqui had Sea Bass quite rich.
