2004:08:04 You should be aware that guidance levels for the importation of duty paid cigarettes into the UK are currently higher than in the rest of the EU. The current limit for importing duty paid cigarettes into the UK from other EU countries is 3,200 but the limit within the rest of the EU is 800.
Therefore, if you intend to purchase more than 800, make sure it is from the last country before returning to the UK.
2004:08:02 Portugal Forest Fires
The Portuguese fire service are currently tackling forest fires in several areas of the country. So far, these have not directly affected the most popular tourist areas.

Forest fires occasionally cause road and rail closures. You should be aware of this and be prepared for possible delays.

You should be extremely careful when visiting isolated areas in the affected regions and should be guided by local fire service authorities at all times. No smoking is allowed in woodland areas and barbecues should be avoided.

2003:07:28 Due to the fire that has destroyed a big part of our site on the 28 of July 2003, we unfortunately have to cancel all bookings for the rest of the 2003 season.
As from today, we start the reconstruction of our site and from this winter we will start the bookings again for the 2004 season, a brand new season!!

With kind regards,
Management and entire team of Domaine du Colombier.
