we have just returned from monte gordo-17th.march.
we are 60s and don't like discos either. we went to the bar 42, which is on the main prom. try the cappuchino and brandy....2.80 euros- approx. £1.50.
you can get a good english breakfast at MOBYS BAR-or ED AND WILLEMS. through the day we used to go to the GARDENS near the CASINO....very cheap and very nice.
if you like chinese-go to the one on the main street,not the prom. indian-the best is opposite the chinese.....very friendly... if you want to know anything else give me a shout......the hotel you are going to is very nice, but lots of older long-termers, we stayed at the ALCAZAR, but not recommend. hope you enjoy your holiday... sandra and gordon.
