About The Dunas Complex
The Dunas do Alvor complex (where Marco's Bistro Bar is located ) doesn't have its own website but you can find plenty of places on the web that refer to it.
This link is to the 'Holiday Watchdog' site which will give you a good idea of
what is on offer.
The complex consists of two large linked plazas sharing a common large swimming pool and sun terrace.
The ground floor areas are mainly shops and businesses with apartments located above.

Dancing Lessons
As some of you may know, we have been having dancing lessons over the last year ( it was Lisa's fault for getting them as a Christmas gift in 2007 and we followed 'her lead'! ). We think we're getting quite good if we say so ourselves. It is thanks to Graham, our dance instructor. You can find
all the details at his website Strictlysocialdance.com. Be warned, we are thinking of perhaps organising some group tuition either at his studio or on
Marco's patio!
