Hi Gerry 

most tastes are catered for to be honest and we have eaten at them all and quality is great at all, we prefer the Chinese as the tourist menu is great and what is in effect a 3 course meal plus drink for £15 average for 2 (always pay with my Clarity card) Piccolos and Spice Villa are also top no...

...tch (Spice Villa the best of 3 Indian Restaurants on Camposol in my opinion). The Grove has the best chef ever with awesome quality but you do pay for the privilege, The Bulgarian whilst great quality we found to be a little bland but that is individual taste and not a slight on the restaurant 

as I said in my earlier post we never take nor use cash as not required and with the more common use of tapping your card it is even quicker to use card over cash 

Pub wise if you want sport all cover this for free but we prefer Shenanigans as the atmosphere is great and you can wind up the West Ham and the Spurs fans when they lose hahahaha 

there are also regular events and night life such as 80's and tribute artists all for a very reasonable price 

when you venture further afield Cards are just as welcome and there is so much to explore 

enjoy the journey you will be bitten by the Camposol love bug as it is such a great place with a lot of very awesome friendly people   
(did a quick edit as being corrected by others on minor word differences can be a little confusing haha)

hope this helps

We have a Wise account which is excellent as transactions are in Euros. Uk cards will charge you a transaction charge. And not offer you the best exchange rate.

Cards are accepted in most places from my own experience! Consider how much your bank charges for the use of your cards abroad!!! I’m with Nationwide and my account allows me to use the card in other countries without incurring extra cost ( always opt to pay in euros when asked at the point of ...

Hi, 

you can pay with a credit card anywhere now, the best methods are Halifax Clarity, Santander World credit cards as they give you wholesale exchange rates (Mastercard rate is better than Visa)

you can buy your drinks, meals, day to day spending without the need to obtain any cash from home as this is the most expensive way to spend
