We have just been in France for a month & never paid more than 1.11 a litre?In the local bars in Conceicao a 33cl bottle of Sagres is 90c or at the posh place €1, Prato do dia varies from €5 to €7.50 usually including wine and coffee.
Branded beers such as Sagres or Super Bock are expensive at full price but the supermarkets always have one or other on offer, usually works out around €1.50 a litre or there is always Aldi or Lidl cheap beers at around 90c/litre.
Bought a chicken in the supermarket for €1.48 a kilo, on offer from the ridiculously exorbitant normal price of €1.98/k. Lamb chops on offer at €8.99/k.
Diesel in Tavira is €1.18, cheap place in Ayamonte (Spain) is around €1.09, hardly enough to make me change my plans.
If you think those prices are expensive try Italy or France , Italy Diesel €1.30 to €1.50.
Gazole average price from Strasbourg to Dieppe around €1.11 to €1.13 at the moment unless you stray into a motorway services..

Also Jumbo supermakets are never more than intermarche and sometimes less. Neither take UK cards though.In my continuing series of keeping those Johnny foreigner types from raiding your pocket, can I suggest that those coming to Portugal put the following site into your 'Favourites' when route planning.
Intermarche (Yes the french one) are selling Diesel at up to 14p a Lt cheaper than the alternative.
In addition, the Intermarches tend to have an Aire de Service for getting water and dumping at their garages.
See, http://www.intermarche.pt/lojas
Also, keep an eye out for 'PRIO' garages. They sell their fuel a little cheaper than most.

Seems like you've got the 'wrong' type of card Maxi. Try a Hx clarity card. Right on the money for exchange rate and no fees either.Also Jumbo supermakets are never more than intermarche and sometimes less. Neither take UK cards though.
Lovely!! You both have a great time!I should'nt have read your posts because, after saying we wouldn't go abroad again after I had a TIA in Egypt, I got the bug again and have booked a flight holiday , covering my Birthday and Xmas, for two weeks at the Dome Jose hotel in Quarteira!!!.

On the ferry in Santander waiting to sail home!
A really good trip - thoroughly enjoyed Portugal especially Fuseta and Alvor - stayed at the "Elephant Aire" near Santander last night - very good!!
Sad it is over but 8 weeks on Sunday we are scheduled to be back on the ferry to Santander for an 8 week trip to Spqain and possibly Portugal!! [/QUOT
Safe travels !

Can anyone reciprocate an old man and tell me if the fuel prices I am coming across just above the Algarve (currently at Porto Novo) are being displayed as a joke.
The cheapest I've seen locally is 1.229
Are the prices cheaper in the Algarve?

At the moment, I reckon you will probably get a better deal of you pick them up hereCan anyone in Portugal tell me, is it better to bring Euros from England or bring pounds and change them in Portugal?
