Marrachinho Supermercado

Name of Shop: Supermercado Marrachinho

Just before we reached our little beach cove near Armacao de Pera, we spotted a modern looking supermarket on the outskirts of the town. This was good, because we had not prepared at all for our time on the beach! The store was very bright and well arranged, with a great variety of goods.

What To Buy: We purchased a grab bag mixture of items: a sun hat (E4), small towel (E3), two bottles of water (E0.42), three bottles of wine (E11), two hunks of cheese (E7.50) and two boxes of crackers (E2). This was more than enough to keep us going on the beach as well as to have something left-over for the next day when we planned to drive north toward Evora. The total bill came to E28.38 (US$36).

Ekaterinburg Sun Apr 20, 2008 11:06 UTC Imaginative and alternative view of the Algarve. A joy not to have to look at Praia De Rocha etc. This is somewhere we could get to by direct flight from Cork so I'm reading with geat interest and of course pleasure :))	scottishvisitor Thu Nov 1, 2007 16:43 UTC What would the Algarve be without its stunning coastline? Your page brings back some nice memories for me
