The Algarve Business Directory

Algarve Business DirectoryA FREE service to promote businesses and retail outlets throughout the Algarve. Hopefully supplementing my Luz Shopping, Luz Services and Property Services pages by providing links to services and goods not necessarily available in Luz.
Rather than trawl the web and copy other 'ads' most of the businesses below have been included as a result of a direct request for inclusion, or I have used them myself or have been recommended to me, hence a rather diverse selection.

Latest Updates

ForestFit - Fitness Centre - July 2011

Bio Mercearia - Food Delivery - June 2011

Golden Triangle - Catering - June 2011

FJ North - Gaming - March 2011

Linen Etc. - Linen Outlet - January 2011

Some of the contact numbers ( especially for businesses rather than shops ) are 'head' offices and their addresses are not necessarily places you need / or able to visit. Also, whilst I've shown locations on the map they are only to town / village level. So telephone them before hand for more accurate directions and details of products and services on offer.

Should you use any of the services listed here, please let them know where you got the information from, for no other reason than it encourages them to keep me up to date with any changes in their details.


If you would like me to add your own FREE entry or would like your existing entry edited / removed please contact me.
