There's a place "oop north" going cheap..... only €16,500.00.

That must be cooler.

I'm a lot further oop north and its 23C..... bloomin' hot that is.

Oop north is fine this time of year WM, but blinkin' cold in the winter.

And they even have stuff that is called "snow" - whatever that is

Random Ton...but are you near Lisbon?
Craig and Lani are doing another Spanish road trip (a mini one this time) and are looking to drive from here to Lisbon.

Could you tell me a bit about the place..or anything you know about it please.

Sorry for the hijack. xx

Not jealous Ton........................

Lisbon is about 2 and a half hours drive away from us Ally, up on the West Coast.

I love Lisbon The buildings are lovely, the shops are also very good transport is good (trams, tubes, buses) cheap and frequent. Just about every-one in the shops/restaurants speak some English.

If they're driving, then it would be a quick hop over the border to the Eastern Algarve, along the A22 or EN125, to Albuferia then up on the A2. Or take the IC1, which is just as good a road, still quiet but no tolls.

Or across, using the smaller, country roads above Mertola, onto Serpa, Beja and up that way.

Either way, they'd see some lovely countryside

[Diflower]

Oh I love love love Lisbon
And proper fado that makes you cry

[Ally]

Oh thanks for that info Ton. xx

[tonicha]

And if they do come along to the Eastern Algarve, tell them to pop in

I love fado too Di, when it's done properly. And also the folclore, which is the "country" songs, very descriptive
