About the Algarve in Portugal 

The Algarve is located in the most southern part of mainland Portugal. It is packed with popular holiday resorts along with traditional Portuguese fishing villages. The most popular holiday resorts include Quarteira, Albufeira and Vilamoura.
The Algarve can boast a very warm climate throughout most of the year. In the summer the temperature can reach the low thirties, with the winter hovering around the mid-teens centigrade. Although the beaches are very clean and inviting, great car must be taken when swimming in the sea, which is known to have strong under currents.
The Portuguese currency is the Euro (currency converter included in the free BestCarHire iPad and iPhone app).
The native language is Portuguese, although many younger people and workers in the holiday resorts speak English fluently.

Driving in Portugal

Remember that the Portuguese drive on the right hand side if the road, so think about this before planning your travel, as some people get confused driving a left-hand drive vehicle for the first time. A valid driving licence is required when driving - both the photo and paper parts (UK). If you don't have a photo card licence, you'll need an International Driving Permit. Always carry a valid passport, when driving, as the Portuguese police often stop foreign drivers to check their paperwork is in order.

Travelling in Ireland - A Thirty Second Tour

As the summer approaches it is time to think about how we can ideally spend our treasured leisure time.
One of the most rewarding and romantic locations is Ireland, be it the rugged Northern Ireland coastline at Antrim to Skibbereen, the most southerly town in Ireland.
Wherever you go in Ireland, you will be guaranteed a warm and hospitable welcome.
For the gastronomic travellers amongst us, there are no tastier oysters than those tasted at the Galway Oyster Festival (27th to 29th September 2013). If you've never tasted Irish Stew swallowed down with a couple of pints of Guinness, then you've a lot to learn.
Talking of "the Black Stuff", you will need to find time to fit into your busy schedule, a visit to a local Irish pub. My favourites are just off Temple Bar in the centre of Dublin, where apart from the vast range of beers and whiskers, you have entertainment thrown in free from the young ladies doing traditional Irish dancing, to the impromptu guitar, fiddle and bodhran entertainers crooning away in a corner.
The best way to get to Ireland is by air to Dublin or Belfast, or by ferry to Larne or Dublin. There is a good road network throughout Ireland, the best being focussed around the major towns and cities on the east coast. If arriving by air, there are various major car hire companies available.

The currency is the Euro in the south (Eire) and the UK pound in Northern Ireland.
