2024 Portimao have introduced a tourist tax of 2 euro per day per person for 7 days which I am obliged to collect. You can send this 28 euros by PayPal to Christineannmorgan@gmail.com or put it in an envelope and slide it under the door at the foot of the stairs by the front door. Apologies as this is something I have no control over.
