A FREE service to promote businesses and retail outlets throughout the Algarve. Hopefully supplementing my Luz Shopping and Luz Services pages by providing services and goods not necessarily available in Luz.
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 small advertisement or would like your existing entry edited / removed please contact me.
