Firewood In The Algarve?
Quite a lot of people are coming here to the website via search engines looking for ‘firewood+in+the+algarve’, presumably because there are some entries here and in other parts of the site containing both words.
If you are one of those people looking for firewood, I can tell you that none of those posts you are so far getting directed to contain any leads as to where to actually get the firewood from here in the Algarve.
Until this one!
I get it from an elderly’ish Portuguese guy who lives not far from where I do here in the central part, and up in the hills a bit, of the Algarve. His name is Antonio Alentejano and he has stacks of wood (supplying firewood is his job, and probably has been for years and years). He does do deliveries, by the way, though how far he’d be prepared to go delivering it I have no idea.
I’m paying about €100 – €120 per medium-sized truckload (those pickups with the truck back on them size) depending on what mood he is in, what the weather is like, how much he is in demand, and, for all I know, the specific alignment of the stars on the day that we call him.
He is a nice guy, he doesn’t speak English, he does sell good wood (i.e. it’s dry and legal), and I do have his phone number.
So if you are after some firewood drop me a line via the contact page and I’ll pass on his phone number.
Then you won’t freeze to death in what passes for ‘winter’ around here.
