So our summer holiday has been and gone. We drove to Portugal towards Jerez, Seville, Huelva etc. It takes around 4.5 hours comfortably.
Driving through Seville is really busy at the moment.
We stayed in a Place Called Barringtons in Vale Do Lobo. Its a kind of Sports Resort with Hotel and Apartments. Our room was lovely and big enough for 3 of us easily. They also have apartments too if you didnt want to stay in the hotel part. They have a little bar by the pool where you can order sandwiches and salads so we just put it on the room. We really expected it to be quite a lot by the end of the holiday but it wasnt. Everything was pretty good price, 4€uros 6€uros etc for salads or burgers, so that part is really good value.
There was a gym, loads of aerobic classes, sports and stuff going on everyday. They have alot of footballers stay there for training. Whilst we were there the Scottish Paralympics were there too playing football. Vale Do Lobo is very popular with all the footballers. This year we saw Nicky Butt as we did 2 years ago, Alan Shearer was there and many others.
Im also very certain I saw Coleen Rooney Eating in Amore in at the Praca in Vale Do Lobo too.
The Praça is the main part where all the restaurants and bars are. Everynight they have a singer or band which is lovely whilst you are eating and all the kids dance around.
Its a really nice atmosphere. We didnt really do much apart from eat, sit by the pool and go to the beaches where are fantastic. I know its not disimilar to what I do here but you do still need to get away completely.
Unfortunately half way through our car got broken into....there was nothing on show but they stole a nubmer of items nintendo ds and all the games, sunglasses, ipod, beach bag with all or bikinis etc. This really put a downer on things and we couldnt even get the window fixed. Its still broken now as Ford dont have a one and need to order it.
But apart from that we have some excellent nights out with family there.
