Welcome to The Portugal News 'Time Machine' our history Page
On this page you will find entire editions from our oldest copies going back into the 1970's and 1980' long before we had an electronic on line version of the paper. Here you will find 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

 
 This section has a small selection of complete editions from the 1970 and 1980's. These are PDF scans, and you can click or scroll through each page to see what pre occupoied early expat residents. Please understand 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'.
