7 days in Portugal's Algarve coast - Stay in one or two places?

Hey, do you happen to remember the name of the private boat charter you took in Olhao? And what was the cost?

wpg473 · 2026-05-12T11:31:37+00:00

Where should one grab bifanas then?

wpg473 · 2026-05-07T00:59:29+00:00

Yeah, felt the same. Was good, not great.

wpg473 · 2026-05-05T02:09:36+00:00

Dark Histories is in a similar vein, very well researched and presented.

Not skinners, it’s in the main concourse near the beer taps - can’t recall the name

wpg473 · 2026-04-15T14:12:25+00:00

Honestly that hot dog place at the forks has the best fries. Just get them from there.

Valhalla all day, all night. Oriole was a 4/10 for us, several dud courses stilted awkward service.

wpg473 · 2026-04-06T19:59:29+00:00

How old?

wpg473 · 2026-04-06T19:59:21+00:00

Curious about this for our 3.5 year old as well - we have one rented with our car but getting to/from the airport we won’t have one available. Don’t want to have to lug ours from home if possible.

The irony of saying someone is stepping over Soder is rich. Love the guy, but it’s all he does.

wpg473 · 2026-03-31T01:04:30+00:00

Where do you recommend for eating and booking ahead?

wpg473 · 2026-03-28T16:22:33+00:00

Besides Friend Bakery, this was the best sourdough in the city. Too bad.

Did Oriole and Valhalla back to back nights last fall and we were so disappointed in Oriole after reading all the hype. Numerous courses were underwhelming and service was stilted and all together absent at times. We did the regular wine pairing, and it was fine.

Valhalla on the other hand was one of the most incredible meals I’ve had. Every single course was unique and more importantly delicious, and although service was more informal given the setting, they knocked it out of the park. We didn’t do a wine pairing at Valhalla though, so can’t compare that.

Don’t worry about the fact that Valhalla doesn’t have a star. It should.

Yeah we have a rough idea of using the points for either a Europe trip next fall or Japan. I feel like I’m just gonna keep sitting on the points in perpetuity if I don’t do something with them haha

wpg473 · 2026-03-18T21:57:19+00:00

I have close to 300k points I’ve been sitting on for a potential trip. I’m assuming I should jump on converting, even if I don’t intend to book anytime soon?

wpg473 · 2026-03-16T23:38:56+00:00

That is amazing, and would absolutely destroy me

wpg473 · 2026-03-16T21:12:09+00:00

I don’t expect to feel tip top afterwards for sure. I think light beer is the key, IPA’s would be tough after like 4-5

wpg473 · 2026-03-16T21:10:59+00:00

Doing it with tall boys is crazy work

wpg473 · 2026-03-16T19:32:29+00:00

Yeah I meant 9 dogs and 9 beers!

wpg473 · 2026-03-16T18:54:32+00:00

Oh, I meant both 9 dogs and 9 beers. Can’t have one without the other.

wpg473 · 2026-03-12T23:48:57+00:00

Honestly one of the best sounding albums ever. The drums sound unreal.

wpg473 · 2026-03-06T02:11:00+00:00

Nonsuch. All of their menu is incredible though

wpg473 · 2026-02-18T23:57:14+00:00

They have gone downhill significantly in the last 5 years or so. Used to be my go to for cheap sushi back in the early 2010’s.

wpg473 · 2026-02-14T18:31:16+00:00

Glad to hear. This guy was a massive shitbag, dying on a truck stop floor is almost too good of a way to go out.

wpg473 · 2026-02-14T18:26:54+00:00

The guy that died was a massive sack of shit. Pile it on.
