March 8 - Albufeira - Week 2


The weather is a bit cool with frequent showers, but it is not slowing us down from our daily 16,000+ steps while exploring and geocaching. We have found 4 grocery stores that we use on a regular basis. They each have different styles depending on what we are looking for.

Pingo Doce has a restaurant that serve local cuisine at a very good price so there 2-3 times a week for lunch. They also have a very good seafood section.

Continente Modelo has a very good wine selection with great sales. We found bottles that normally for 12-15 euros on sale for around 3.50. Every couple of weeks they had Pastel de nata (a Portuguese custard tard) on sale at 6 for 1.44 euros. We have seen some at bakeries go as high as .90 euros each.

There was also Lidi and Aldi discount supermarkets which offered a variety of local products.
