Whats on in Febuary?

Thank you Tonisdad.
Seannyboy is obviously still very welcome to join us.

I'm glad you meet up in certain pubs - it gave me & Dave the opportunity to say thank you for all your help, answering all our questions.

The title is a bit misleading as we talk to absolutely anyone who cares to listen, from high posters to low posters, to northern people and southern people and even the Irish, to residents and non residents and even to Dog Man who hasn't washed for years and costs me 50 cents a time. We DO meet up in certain pubs around town where we would love to meet any new members but please bear in mind, we are all very handsome, refined and like to discuss the finer things in life.

Mandingo is indeed part of Albufeira and is a good friend of mine. He also likes being known as Dog Man. He also is known as 50 cents as that is what he likes to ask for. He speaks Dutch and English and is a lot more intelligent than some give him credit for.

I have seen a lot of people fishing off Falesia Beach and I've spoken to quite a few of them.
According to them they fish for Robalo (Sea Bass), Dorada (Sea Bream) and Cavalhina (Mackerel).
To be honest though I've very rarely seen anyone actually catch anything, even though they've got all the gear and use up to 3 or 4 rods at a time.
Still, there's usually a few down there, especially in the Winter, so presumably they must catch something or else they're just getting away from the missus
As I understand it you need a permit to fish from the beach. These can be obtained through any Multibanco (Cash) Machine. This link tells you all about it.

Hi there do not post very often. I usually go to Albufeira every September but over the last few months also went in November 2016 for 11 days, January this year for 12 days and are coming over first 2 weeks in March - excellent place all year round and weather has been great and so inexpensive compared to tourist season. I am just about to post a question for you experts - excellent forum by the way
