ATWI 2017: Travel

Please note: No singing on arrival and departure days.  
Arrival day will include dinner and an evening together.
Each location has specifics and are described below.
 
Departure on the last day is in the morning and singers will be taken to the airport or into town as appropriate and preferred. Many times, singers stay on in each location and do some sight seeing together. We cannot guarantee any of that.

As described below, singers will arrange for their ground transportation from the airport to the retreat center.
NOTE: The retreat center can NOT accommodate  early arrivals or late departures. IF you plan to arrive in Portugal early or depart later, you will have to make your own hotel reservations and plan to arrive to Monte Velho as scheduled.

Airport to Monte Velho:
The closest airport is Faro, located 1 hour away from Monte Velho.
Taxi: Most people hire a taxi straight to Monte Velho, which is about 90 euros, and can be shared by up to 4 people. If there is a bigger group coming at the same time, we can also help organizing a transfer with a van or minibus 
Bus to taxi: You can use Eva Bus http://www.eva-bus.com/ (website in english too) and travel to Lagos (35km away from the venue) or Vila do Bispo (5km away) and take a taxi from there, for 15-20 euros.
Car rental: Available at the airport.  This will give you flexibility - to go to the beach, town, etc - not essential but something to consider.

Driving directions from Faro Airport:
  • Take A22, direction PORTIMAO - LAGOS
  • Drive all the way to LAGOS, take exit LAGOS – Vila do BISPO
  • Drive to VILA DO BISPO. At VILA DO BISPO, take direction north to ALJEZUR, CARRAPATEIRA, on N268. After approximately 12km turn right at VILARINHA sign, drive 800 meters and turn left at MONTE VELHO sign. Keep going straight until you reach a gate located by a small lagoon.
