Advantages: Still Innocent - hardly any english Disadvantages: The portuguese are not very friendly
...MonteGordo - The Algarve. Ten years ago I chose the hotel Eurotel Altura in Altura/Tavira with the family. This year I took my one remaining teenager and husband back to the Eurotel, which had grown but hardly changed. From Monte Gorda it's a short bus ride or 'road train' to Villa Real de Santo Antonio, where you can hop on the ferry across to Spain. No problem with currency - they willingly take Escudos in Ayamante. This is a lovely border town where backpackers arrive to travel around Spain - they have recently revamped the two town squares - now they have 4 Mannequins pis (copies of the famous Belgian Prince found relieving himself after being lost). There are tiles everywhere in these squares including benches....

Advantages: Good Shopping and Great Sun Disadvantages: None
...A break in Portugal is full of good food, beautiful atmosphere and wonderful wine and beer. The Capital Lisbon is full off divertment for all kind of people. If you enjoy sun go to Algarve and stay in Tavira or Monte-Gordo, great sun the best beach in my life, and is easy because almost everybody speaks English. The prices are very good and because £1 is almost 330$00 you don't spend much in there and can do everything. I would definitely recommend this Country for you to visit. GO offer cheap flights from Stansted airport to Lisbon,Porto and Faro. I traveled with Tap Air Portugal and the service was great, very kind and they speak good English....

Casablanca is the only city I am aware of in Morocco, to have a red light district. However, the area can be quite dangerous and I would recommend you try to stay clear of this area around Blvd Hassan Seghir and Rue Mohammed Smiha...

We had an enjoyable stay at this hotel.
What sold the hotel to us was its look. It has a traditional colonial appearance; a Madeira building that guests must have stayed at a 100 years ago. It has its own unique character and is such a contrast to all... more
