the pound / euro is not the only bad rate.. due in part to the low interest rates in the UK the exchange rate is poor against most holiday currencies

Not that it's my cup of tea, but I think AI is probably the best way to go now.

There aren't many AI's in the Algarve. Its never really taken off there. It's either lots of SC apartments and private villas in areas where there are loads of nice restaurants, cafes and bars or 4* hotels that tend to give a choice of either B&B or Half Board, there is the odd AI (Paraiso de Albuferia is one I think but it's really expensive and FC are opening one of their famous holiday villages).

Of all the Eurozone resorts the Algarve is supposed to offer the best in terms of value for money in eating and drinking out, don't know if that helps. Two course meals for four about 70 Euros, with a litre of sangria, soft drinks and water, that was in Lagos. Decent food steaks, chicken, fish etc not spag bol & pizza.

Don't worry about it, for a weeks hols it will work out about £30 pp more on spending money. If getting a late deal, you will have probably saved quite a bit anyway.
