Customer Reviews

Algarve Globetrotter map - poor and inaccurate
The map is large scale but only in the size of print ! Lots of roads that you would want to know about in driving round the Algarve are just not shown. A Michelin map of the whole of Portugal gives more detail than this map. There are also major sections of A roads not shown (eg beyond Lagos heading to Luz) - the map is supposedly 2008 edition. Definitely not updated.
Not recommended, unless you really want town maps of a dozen Algarve towns in a single map/book

Good guide
This guide was very helpful indeed getting me and my family through The Algarve. Map also came in handy.
