Hello Nick and Happy New Year! 🎉 This is a wonderful video about Luz-which I knew nothing about. If you have more videos with this style (visit with locals)-you have a winning formula to assist those considering relocating to the Algarve. More please. 😃

@AlgarveAddicts Год назад

Thanks! Yes, it's my new plan, videos with the locals. Lots more coming this year.

Thank You Nick! My family went in vacations the whole month of July to Praia da Luz since 1971 to the early 2000s. The sports bar used to be a supermarket, then a bar. I'm not sure, but I think Baptista started there. In the late 1970s moved to the biggest building just outside the church largo on the road to Lagos. Paul McCartney stayed in Luz in a place called Quinta das Redes (Close to Concha) when he discovered Algarve. When I was a kid there was only one resort called Luz Bay Club (or was it Luz Beach Club ?) Luz was once a meca for windsurf when the sport started to be popular in Portugal. Thank you for the History section! I'm not sure if this is right but, the name Luz seems to have came from a Light (a beacon) to help in the Southern Camino de Santiago (the same as Luz de Tavira).

Wow, that's great info, thanks for sharing Eduardo.

Thank you. Keeping notes on where to go. Will be in Praia da Luz for three weeks in March. Just got back from staking out waves for a month in Nazare (Yes. I got to see giants). Before that, Lagos, Lagos, and Alvor in the last three years. PT is awesome.

Hi Nick,Merry Belated Christmas Wishes and hopefully a more Peaceful and Prosperous New Year for the WORLD. It’s been a while since I came across one of your videos,I don’t know why the absence but here it is. I must tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video and especially showcasing the variety of restaurants and cafes in that part of the world. As a viewer of many RU-vid videos,I enjoy it when the producer walks in a restaurant or cafe places and showing what they’ve ordered and the bill which normally surprises me of how cheap or reasonable it is to eat out. Thanks Again for your work 👍

Hi Alex, thanks for the wishes and the kind words. All the best for you and your family.

@brianrundle9219 Год назад

Hello Nick, I’m from the uk and have only just discovered your channel. Very impressed! We’re considering moving to Portugal and wondering if any of the restaurants are open in the winter months. Brian.

@AlgarveAddicts Год назад

Hey Brian, welcome to the channel! Strangely, this January it's been REALLY tough to find restaurants open. It feels like the whole Algarve had such a good year that they've all taken January off. Some restaurants are open for sure but remember that Monday is the most difficult day to eat out. Most restaurants are closed then.

@joelprice1 Год назад

Great video, Nick! Even these small towns have something to offer. It might not serve everyone’s needs but it’s a great place to see the beach and have lunch.

Lovely place. Is there anything else to do besides visit restaurants and bars? Such as theater, cinema, etc…?

@joelprice1 Год назад

It’s very nice area but when I visited it felt a little like a retirement community. Very peaceful but not much going on.

@AlgarveAddicts Год назад

Hi Christina, no it's very small. No theaters or cinemas. The community gets together and meet on the beach, do dance classes at the cultural center and congregate around other events and fairs.

@AlgarveAddicts Год назад

Hi Daniel, you'd have to look online for bar, hotel and restaurant jobs or construction. Facebook is possibly your best bet and for the more formal jobs possibly even LinkedIn.

@Mongoose-ct6us Год назад

@@AlgarveAddicts Wow. That's great. Is it really quiet this time of year? I would think it gets really quiet in winter. Also, is a car rental necessary to visit the Algarve or is there public transportation? Thanks in advance for any reply. Great channel by the way. I've been to Portugal but never made it to the Algarve

@AlgarveAddicts Год назад

It is quiet here in winter which is amazing. You get all these gorgeous beaches to yourself (when it's not raining). Yes, you'll need a car.

@joelprice1 Год назад

Very nice area. Unfortunately it’s pretty small not much going on and you have depend on Lagos for most necessities. But still a nice and friendly little village.

@AlgarveAddicts Год назад

Yes, it's not far from Lagos and clearly has a strong connection with it's bigger sister.
