Olhao.. Oh WOW!! The Authentic Algarve Experience

Bettina and myself were down in the Algarve for the day last Friday… just a normal day in ClickandGo.com!!  Aer Lingus have an early flight out and late flight back to Faro so we took advantage of that and planned a visit to ClickandGo’s newest destination on the Algarve, the fishing village of Olhao.

Dynamic packaging really came into its own when airlines like Ryanair and Aer Lingus started to fly to the traditional sun holiday destinations like the Algarve, Costa del Sol, Majorca, Ibiza and the Canaries.

Put Madeira on your ‘Must Do’ list!!

I’m just back from a few days in Madeira where Jill and I went down to look at all the properties we have down there and I’m thrilled with everything we saw.

I was last in Madeira in 1989 and I came away quite disappointed BUT in the 23 years since my last visit, Madeira has been transformed. The road network and tunnels are amazing; there are more tunnels there than in Switzerland and getting around the island is now so easy. There has been massive investment in tourism; there are plenty of new hotels, much more in the way of shops, restaurants and bars. The island is transformed and it really is a brilliant holiday destination.
