U guys like fish? if u ever visit Olhão u have to go to the rest "Vai e volta" for lunch. Its like 11 euros i think each and u eat all the fish u want, its amazing trust me

[@Module79L]

No, I didn't enjoy the video. Your "class" is gone and you are acting like idiots. You're better than that.

[@JPVNG67]

your opinion...i think they are very natural and i liked it. Me and wife are followers.

[@joaofernandes9742]

You already were in the Restaurant Flor Do Campo, in Lagoinha, Palmela? No?!?... Start here...

[@victorpimenta41]

It’s kind of sad to see everything so empty . The last time I was in portimao I partied till 6 am it was so much fun my old ass felt it the next day but it is a fun region on the other hand I do understand stay classy and safe

[@davidlguerr]

I am from Algarve, and usually we do use olive oil over the fish, especially if there is not enough fat. In this time of the year, most fish have not developed a big layer of fat, so they are a little dry and less tasty, so olive oil gives that nice flavor and adds healthy fat. Some restaurants do have a prepared sauce made with olive oil, garlic and coriander. And also, we (I am sure there are a few exceptions) do not eat fish and fries. Fish is usually served with a tomato salad (which is called salada montanheira). That is is what is traditional in the Algarve. Your bill was expensive, but eating at Marina de Vilamoura, you have to expect that, and you were already expecting something like that, plus the seabass is not a cheap fish, so... Albufeira is just like you said, a place to enjoy the sun, beach, night parties, but without the portuguese culture. Albufeira looks like another british colony, and most tourists are british and irish, that is why so many irish and english style pubs.

[@VADACHE]

Thank you for info

Salada Algarvia é melhor 🙂

I love coriander, a friend of mine here in Canada originally from Praia de mira introduced it to me I love it 1😂😂😂

[@davidlguerr]

@@marioandre7351 Coriander is a must in Algarve and Alentejo. You can not have good seafood rice without the coriander. The same with the açorda.

[@helencousins2911]

Thank you Classy Couple for making this video. You are doing a great tourism service for Portugal. I am hoping the social distancing/shelter in place protocols get completely lifted soon across the global. In the US we are starting to get back to normal but this unfortunate situation has decimated so many small businesses it's to the point of being cruel. I respect and understand lives were/are at stake but in the US we are questioning if the government reaction was extreme or if there could have been a better alternative. Thanks again!

[@lehandro69]

Really enjoyed the mood in that video...super chill...thanks

[@JorgeConceicao]

Thank you guys. Real "public service"! Well done! 👌

I know there is no crowds but actually looks nice seeing an empty beach for once 😂

The rich and famous in the Algarve have their secondary residences in Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo. Many football players and managers such as John Terry, Steven Gerrard, Louis van Gaal, Harry Redknapp, Rio Ferdinand etc... Bonnie Tyler lives near Albufeira ;-)

Damn! I should not watch your videos before dinner! It made me hungry, like hell!! LOL

[@PauloVaztek]

Excellent, clearly the best to talk about portugal, and no bullshit. Thank you!

[@alien1980]

Hey You Two! Love what you are doing. I feel so bad seeing you in the West of Algarve and not finding a place to eat. We are in Olhao which is just East of Faro and it's known for culture, cubist houses, beach islands, and GREAT local food. Keep sharing your story! All the best

[@hugocosta3112]

Estou nem ai... Antes só qeriam turistas para cobrar 3€ por um cafe ou 4€ por uma imperial coisa que o portugues não tem poder economico, agora que venham os amados turistas "salvar" esses estabelicimentos. Quando havia dinheiros não queriam lá os tugas...

[@joaocosta-ku4nu]

Ė normal que os establecimentos no algarve Cobrem esses preços que menciona visto que o periodo que podem fazer lucro è bastante reduzido,com isto a preferencia pelo cliente estrangeiro em deterimento do nacional è no minimo comprensivel,visto que a maior parte do cliente nacional pede um café e um copo de agua da torneira e fica uma manha inteira Numa esplanada de um establecimento de preferencia com vista mar e ainda vai reclamar que o cafe está frio ou que a agua da torneira está quente.

[@joachimdelfortrie]

You walked passed one of my childhood friend's parents home on your way to Passaro Azul, for some reason that was funny to watch for me... Olhao and Tavira are quite busy and next week everything opens again. Maybe try Alvor, not too far away from Ferraguda? Was surprised that Albufeira was that quiet.. for sure a super tourist town but still.. anyway, enjoy the weather, the wines, the sea breezes..despite the current "lonely" vibes you experienced.. stay safe guys.

[@markclaywell5455]

I appreciate you showing what is happening in the Algarve. Please go to Lagos if you can. We had to cancel our July trip with the family. Love to see it.

[@Feiticeira013]

In all the Lagos Concelho (County/municipality) we had only4 Covid cases and they cured now. The City of Lagos and all the area around is Covid free. The beaches are great and the water today was strangely warm... but i'm not complaining. The beaches have legally open but there a rules and the oficial beach season starts the 6 of june. From that day on there will be lifeguards on the beaches and aside from saving lifes on the sea they will also controll the separation rules. And that day on there will be an app that willl tell you if a beach full... and then you will have to chose another... that would be a big deal somewhere else... but there are son many beaches in Algarve that you just chose another one.

[@tithannisk7470]

I was born and eaised in France where I still live but I’m algarvio and I’ve been there at least one month a year (I also lived there for some years) for 42 years. This year is probably the first one that I won’t get to see my querido Algarve. It pains me to see all those restaurants closed and I wonder what will become of all those people that depend on tourism

[@PP-tuga]

So.... you are an AVEC.... I CAN SEE THAT

[@gabriellazordan]

The lockdowns were very bad in these International Mediterranean countries , not only Portugal but Spain, Italy and Greece . The Lockdown global wanted to destroy the ancient culture by doing this .

[@brianwhite1189]

Very nice! I believe the external EU borders are still closed and if I'm not mistaken, the Portugal/Spain border is still closed, but will open June 15. So I'm not surprised so much is still closed.

Yes, the border is closed and the flights to Faro were only restarted a few days ago.

[@laurencamacho5269]

Algarve looks so beautiful!My boyfriend and I had a flight booked in April for 12 days to stay in Algarve and Lisbon, but because of the virus we had to cancel and go next year at the end of April. I can't wait to visit! Your videos are great! I learned a lot about where to go and not go, and will continue to watch! - from Toronto :) Ps. Amalie your dresses are super cute!

[@DidiPort]

Good morning Stay Classy, keep up the beautiful work, these videos are amazing they will help bring the people back to this amazing country. I will like this video. Enjoy Portugal from the Portuguese Wallaby Down Under. Warm regards Adrian

[@michaelthatcher3825]

Guys, I have lived in the Algarve for 15 years. If you want to holiday in the most unspoilt part, you need to go to the East Algarve to the 10-12 kilometres of amazing super safe beaches between Manta Rota and Vila Real. You can eat at super real Portuguese restaurants on the beach at half the price you would pay in the main (West of Faro) tourist spots.

[@VADACHE]

You guys are amazing another wonderful video 🙌🏼

The Best time to go to Algarve, no tourists 😁

[@cmpillred277]

I usually go in early November still warm and nice and quiet.

[@bconni2]

the best time to go to the Algarve is any time, as long as it's on the West coast.... the rest of the Algarve coast between Portimao and Faro is too overdeveloped for the tourist industry...

[@brdsb1]

@@bconni2 i agree, but I also love Tavira and vila real Santo Antonio, much less tourism and great food!

[@bconni2]

@@brdsb1 yeah, East of Faro to the Spanish border is very lovely...but i just prefer the West coast...no high rise condos for drunk Brits, and the coast is so wild with great little surf towns

[@ALFRABEIRA]

As a Portuguese, I can say Albufeira is the last place I would go in Algarve. Tavira and Ria Formosa in September is my place. Good shellfish and fish 🐠 and not so expensive. Camon guys! Stay classy!

Ferragudo maybe charming, but for me, Vilamoura suits perfectly fine...😎where is my Algarvian base.

[@pclslopes]

Ok guys....when you ask for fish like that, you have to ask it "escalado"... Which means they will open the fish in half and grill it like that....believe me, it's completely different and way more tasty! ;)

[@ES-ge7bb]

Now that’s the Portugal I know. More food than you can eat. Have you been up to Monchique? I have good memories of that place.

[@power9210]

If you like good food, you should go to (Marisqueira RUI, in Silves), it is one of the best in the Algarve, I grew up in Silves, and Marisqueira Rui has always been very well regarded, people come from all over Portugal to eat there. 5 STARS, if you go back to Carvoeiro, you should pass in BONECA at night, is spectacular, and very worth it.

[@joaoribeiro8953]

I agree you Paulo , I born in Silves and I’ve been to Marisqueira Rui several times. Very good restaurant ! In the Summer long line up waiting to go inside that restaurant .

You have to visit the city of Braga, see the historic center, Cathedral, Visit Bom Jesus and Sameiro. Taste the cod in the Braga style. I suggest you visit the city of Viana do Castelo, where you can visit the church of Santa Luzia and the North beach. Proceed to the villages of Caminha and Valença (historic center), from where you can see Spain across the river Minho, also visit Vila Paia de Âncora. Finally, I suggest you visit Gerês. Best regards.

[@natalialopes719]

That fish looks so so good. There's nothing like fresh fish right from the ocean

[@AnaSantos-jq4yi]

The rich are in Vale de Lobo and Quinta do Lago near Almansil, beautiful houses,beaches and restaurants and very few tourists!

[@jgmaio]

Just a tip: try oranges from Algarve the sweetest in Europe. You will love true Algarve`s orange juice. And try also Água de Monchique from the mountain over where you stay, arguable the best in Portugal and also with a high PH so good for your stomachs and general health. If you go to the top of the Serra de Monchique on a clear day you will be rewarded with fantastic views of all Algarve and good part of Alentejo. Also try Dom Rodrigo the traditional sweet of Algarve, just great.

[@hollyrichardson9728]

I won a trip from Transat to Algarve and we were booked from April 7-22. Unfortunately everything was cancelled due to COVID-19. No flights and Hotel will not honour voucher after April 30. Boo hoo. I am sure they have no idea if they will be open in the Fall. So disappointed ! It looks beautiful. Enjoy !

What a lovely couple ! I watched all your videos . They are amazing . 😂 yes . For my age that’s all I need now water, sun and delicious food . I was so happy in 2016, 2017,2018, and 2019 .

If you two moved to the Algarve, Jooen would start to eat even more fish. Fish is life around here. We have alot of fish only restaurants over here. You can only get grilled fish, nothing else, and they are usually packed (not now of course). I myself, love fish and I am used since I was a child to eat fish at least during the weekend. It was (and still is) sacred to eat fish at saturday and sunday. Now during the summer time, you walk through some streets in the Algarve, and you will smell the fish being grilled on charcoal.
