Just booked to come over in March.  This time I'll make sure I come to OFTR on the right day for the quiz and walk with care.  It'll be good to be back.]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2016 20:29:06 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/calcadas_topic9103_post95484.html#95484 https://albufeira.com/forum/calcadas_topic9103_post94326.html#94326 Author: Jock

Not too bad thanks.  My right foot droops a bit so any unevenness can trip me. I have to be careful in Albufeira.

I tripped on one of the calcadas and fell just outside OFTR on Monday night.  Dusted myself off and went to find I was a day early for the quiz.  Not my night.

Men at work this morning busy ripping up some of those cracked and shiny slabs in old town Avenida 25 Abril and replacing them with those crinkly shaped concrete things that lock together, a kind of modern calcada.

Some of the rest of the Avenida is in a very poor condition so let's hope they do the rest.

I do my tour from the opposite stop ... and actually sat there the day the men came to repair holes ... but they never touched the fatal depression. I`ve picked countless people up there and often do a `magic marker` circle around it as warning. Maybe a wee tin of red paint next ?  And red card for Ally ... there are two `F`s in Caffe ..

We sat in the Sol Cafe one dampish day and watched as countless people slipped at the bus stop. There was nothing we could do to stop it. ]]> Mon, 14 Sep 2015 11:48:02 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/calcadas_topic9103_post93986.html#93986 https://albufeira.com/forum/calcadas_topic9103_post93985.html#93985 Author: gerry

And when you get to the bottom of the escalator and its been raining you can pretend it's an ice rink. The shiny surface down there has to be one of the more stupid ideas.

The calcadas are deliberately loose laid, the theory being that when it rains the water seeps through the cracks and away. Of course when it rains very hard, the stones are lifted.

Also they weren't designed for the tramp of millions of tourist feet.

The non slip surface is a good idea but it doesn't last very long it seems before having to be re-done.

They put some on the well worn path down from One For The Road to the Escalators. Trouble is part is non slip and parts have worn off. I've stumbled many times and I swear it's the path. ]]> Thu, 06 Aug 2015 21:38:22 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/calcadas_topic9103_post93414.html#93414
