Snowboarder that is weird, that is one of the two places we have narrowed our choice down to. The other one is called Fonte Verde in the Algarve which is a modern complex of 30 townhouses which have been built with child safety in mind. We are prob leaning towards the latter but would be very keen to hear more about Padre Aviles. Were there places to eat out or did you totally self cater?

Eating out really all down on the coast - there's a local beach with nice laid back restaurants all along a pedestrian promenade. Padre Aviles is about 15/20m drive up into the mountains - we tended to eat out at lunchtimes (recommend taking a strap on travel seat type thing dep on your childs age - nowhere had high chairs although all v child friendly) and then self catered in the evening. All the balconies overlook the pools. The people running the place were nice and friendly, we were there for 2 weeks and had a really lovely time - even took some longer trips to Fuengirola zoo and Tarifa.


We really liked it but it was a bit remote - you couldn't really walk anywhere from the accommodation. Totally beautiful, nice, easy holiday though. (Hmm and baby no. 2 rocked up 9m later...so yeah, we enjoyed it!)

    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end! 
    • Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
