We are heading out to check out Tavira this Wednesday the 21st. Are there any must see sites!

We are planning a day trip to VRSA from Faro on Monday the 19th. Are there any must see when we are there. Both Luke and I enjoy walking around towns looking for little gems. Thanks in advanced.

We are so looking forward to our trip. Getting through this week is going to be tuff. We land in Lisbon on the 13th stay the night there then catching the train down to Faro. Stay at the Faro hotel till the 27th. No set itinerary. We know we want to visit VRSA, Tavira, Lagos, Albufeira, Portimão, possibly Silves and cross over to Spain to say we were there. Hopefully meet up with the Algarve GuMPers. Ultimately this is a scouting trip. Looking for a place the matches our energy to hopefully retire to in a few years.

Last night on the Expats Portugal Dream Team session, @Sarah Davie asked the classic question: "How do you find out what's going on in Portugal?" This information has indeed often eluded the best of us, and even the Portuguese themselves, in the absence of Gilda's proposal! Within the gaping void of combined and collaborative knowledge, we have made a valiant start thanks to the combined efforts of @Sara Yurman and @Bairr Andy (some of whose dedicated contributions are attached), with the GuMPer map where YOU can research (AND ADD) events, POIs and favourite locations 😍 Please take a look and add some of your own postings 🙏 Wishing you a great weekend from a summery Portugal, whatever you are doing, and wherever you are going...
