I'm planning another stop in Portimao in August my flight is on Aer LIngus from Dublin to Faro 1 WAY TICKET. I booked early evening flight to Faro but because I had a problem getting onward on shuttle as last pick up is around 8pm so I decided to change my flight to arrive in afternoon in case of delays. I choose Portimao because it has bus service which is easily reached from my hotel and I like to travel to some lovely beaches and towns..
Does anyone know if there is a ticket office at airport where I can purchase my ticket to Portimao on the Shuttle?? This service is reasonable and would save me a lot by not having to hire a taxi or car service. I tried to book the Shuttle ticket using my debit card (as I always do) but had a problem having to wait to receive a text after the booking was verified by Bank. Never had this happen before and I use this card with Euros funds to pay for all bookings.

Also does anyone know if I can travel by bus from Portimao to Lisbon or directly to Fatima ? Many thanks to all for any help.
