Welcome to The Portugal News 'Time Machine' our history Page
On these pages you will find extracts from our oldest editions going back into the 1970's and 1980' long before we had an electronic on line version of the paper. Here you will find articles and pages that give fascinating insights into major events, town & villages as well as prices at the time, and even restaurant reviews (prices were a lot cheaper!). We are constantly adding to these pages, so please check back from time to time into our Algarve "Time Machine" and travel back to life here in the 70's and 80's. Divide Escudos by 200 to get today's value (more or less) in Euros. A 'conto' was slang for 1,000 Escudos. If you want to know when there is something new, we always announce new additions to these pages on our Facebook Fan Page

Extracts, reports and photos from our editions from the 1970 and 1980's. These are PDF scans of sections from old file editions, so please uderstand that the quality will not be as good as modern technology now permits.
This page is still under construction and more items are being added constantly.

Do you have old menus, photos or other items from the 70's and early 80's. Please send us a scan in PDF or JPG
and we will see if we can integrate them in this important & growing archive of Algarve 'as it was in the beginning'.
Please call 707 500 655 if you need help or information
