owl-zat Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) Here's a link to the times and prices on the train :- https://www.cp.pt/sites/passageiros/pt/consultar-horarios/horarios-resultado As I posted earlier, prices are cheap starting at 3.35 Euros for an adult one way with unfortunately the last train back being at 20:20 and going it seems they have a bit of a siesta with only 1 direct train within a near 5 hour period after midday Edited June 6, 2017 by owl-zat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's why I said I'm Hoping It would be just my luck that we got out there Thursday and there was no friendly on the friday or saturday after missing the last two trips. Good excuse for a long well needed weekend away with the lads though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Would be quite funny. Hundreds of wednesday fans out for the weekend and no game. We are going Thursday to Monday. Just hope our lass doesn't realise we won't actually be watching any footy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one bar across the road from the stadium which from memory was very cheap but unfortunately no refreshments were available on the open away end which will no doubt again be hot with the evening sun beating sown on us so my advice would be to purchase some water before you enter the stadium. It's still cheap now. Not sure on prices but you will find them here - https://www.cp.pt/passageiros/en/ (English version). If you want to stay close to the ground, Portimão has a resort called Praia da Rocha (Beach of (the) Rock) and there is plenty going on there in the summer. Loads of bars, and clubs and places to eat. A little further away is Lagos, a town I know very well although you will probably need to rent an apartment, and you may just find this the cheapest option is there is a group of you. If anyone wants any advice on airport transfers or ways of finding apartments (or anything else) just PM me and I will try and help. I don't know Albufeira that well as my place is in Praia da Luz to the west of the Algarve, but I know Lagos like the back of my hand and Portimão very well too.

Thats not too bad that. Its cost us £700 for two of us but thats 4 nights thursday till monday and the digs are pretty decent too. Think cheapest I saw it was about 190 pp for flights and hotel for 4 nights thur to mon, that was for a really poor looking hotel and early morning flights but I would have gone for that if I was a bit skint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ferkorf Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 When I first mentioned it to the Mrs I mentioned the full week. She started looking online for flights and hotels. She gave me the prices, I thought thats a bit expensive then I noticed she added herself and the child on. I had to correct her mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
