A lot of the information that we publish has it's source in the official websites of the various councils which govern the Algarve, websites which cater for the social and cultural needs of the population as well as the daily administrative bureaucracy. And herein lies the problem. We at Algarvean Daze use social networking sites to collect the council information that we ultimately dispense, but some of the Algarve Concelhos do not - in 2011 - link to social networking sites. This means that the events they support are only known to those who visit the individual, official site of each council - at times quite a time-consuming task.So, to the Presidents of Albufeira, Castro Marim, Lagos, Lagoa, Monchique, Olhão, São Brás de Alportel and Vila do Bispo Concelhos - get your act together. You spend time and scarce money to put on events for the people, then hide this information away from the wider population. Wake up!
We can't help you if you don't/won't help yourselves! And we would really like to help you.

I read this blog post a few days ago and have been thinking about it. Do you not think that they dont use these new methods because most of their 'members' do not have access to social networking? I dont know many local people who have computers or smart phones. Algarveans can be a funny bunch too, sometimes I do think they want to let others in and so information, especially about more local and smaller events are just passed in the close communities.
Hi Christine
My question would be - if the locals are able to access the existing camara websites, could they not also access the councils social networking sites?
