a brilliant aire in the Algarve

We only popped into this private aire at Parc du Gale for an odd night and six days on we are still here. It is 6.50 euros per night with leccy and wifi and the lady owner comes around each evening for her money and she is lovely and speaks beautiful English.

We have now found the shortest route to the beach ( about one kilometer) and there is a board walk that goes to God knows where, there is not even a dog barking at night , which is unusual for Portugal. Apparently nearer to Christmas it is often full to capacity but they are busy at the moment making 11 more spaces.

Tom Tom says we are at N37  05  40      W 8     18    38

I just wish I knew how to post piccies on this site so in the mean time you will have to use your imagination

is it in the book?

Not in the All the Aires book Lynda found it on Campingcarportugal

ok tank you.what region is it in

My navigator says we are just outside of Guia not far from Albufeira

oh very good,if you go to guia{thats where cliff richards villa is,and where he produces his own wine}in the village of guia there is a piri piri restraunt called RAMERIZ and another called ATLANTICO.both superb but try rameriz its well worth a visit.the last time i was there they only had 2 choices on the menu,piri piri chicken and pork.
the village is just full of little bars and restraunts but not the crap ones that you find in albuferia.

If your having problems uploading photos on here you need to download photobucket on to your computer, then upload any photos you want to use onto photobucket to use on this site. 
To upload the photos to this site you need to use the 'URL' information from your photobucket photo.
Now above the section you are writing in on this site there are icons you need to use the one which looks like a television screen, activate this then you need to copy & paste the url information into the box, then send...
Hope this helps if not ask again.

Just remember that you are very kindly explaining this to a Todmorden Luddite so patience will be absolutely essential

P.s. what is an url

You will see the url info on the photo menu link it will be the bottom line of info which has 'url' written in to it.
but first you need to get photobucket on you computer.

I put the second photo on because the photo the width did not seem right

Mel, looks like we might stop here in November (3rd week leaving Spain), subject to "Pedro's" not being open.

Here is what it looked like when we 1st found it in 2012

Hi Alan and Lynda

Is this camperstop further on than little Pedro's down to the right behind a wall and gates. Went to have a look at this aire in Feb it was full then. We are on the tunnel on the1st Dec hope to see you sometime soon.

Yes carry on past Pedro's straight through at the roundabout and about 3/4 mile turn right by a restaurant down the narrow lane for 200 yards


N37  05   35     W 8  18  40

It is almost full most nights now but they are busy putting 11 more spaces in. There seems to be some regulars that are parked up here for all winter

I will post the rest shortly as it has taken me a full hour to post this one------I know, I know I am an old Luddite

I hate posting pictures on here, the more I try to post another the same one keeps popping up.

You will just have to use your imagination or better still jump in your vans and come and look

Have a read through this post Alan
