Not sure why no-one has thought of this in England yet but a husband crèche could catch on over here. I have never used this service but, for the price of a pint, you can leave your better half at Pickwick's Tavern in Olhos de Agua - for hours. Bargain!
I have to confess I have never been to Pickwick's because I go away to get away from all things British. I don't want Sunday roast, shepherd's pie or a Nescafe coffee. Nevertheless, this sign always makes me smile.
I photographed a few more advertising boards just to share the bargain cost of a treat over there...
Coffee and a cake for 2 euros is not unusual. You can sometimes get a toasty for even less than that, or a pint for 1 euro. A jug of sangria for 5 euros is good value too. It all helps to keep the cost of a holiday down. In the Algarve, the ex-pat population and volume of British visitors means they are very well catered for. They can even buy my very own desert island food in the local supermarkets. Marmite!
