Is the town Carvoeiro or Lagoa? Is see some hits with http://nl.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=69647767 Praia do Carvoeiro.
And what's the postal code? Just 8400 or 8400-558?

The correct postal code and city name for Quinta do Paraíso is 8400-558 and Mato Serrão.
If you want to find other postal codes / city names you can ask here, in this topic, and someone will help you.
And don't forget to find one of my notes, at least...

Thanks! It seems to be I am the only EBT member in Mato Serrão by now...

How can I recognise your bills ?

[Castanhola]

OK. But Mato Serrão is for Quinta do Paraíso. There are other small cities arround...

Well, after some Wikipedia research I suppose that Praia do Carvoeiro is the same as Carvoeiro and Lagoa is the municipality.

But...what postal code should be used?

You should use the 7 digit post code, and it is the correct one.
8400-558
The town is more tricky. The resort, or at least a part of it seems to be in "Mato Serrão", just outside "Carvoeiro". However, the reception and parking lot may be still in Carvoeiro.
Given the fact that it is a resort, and not the town centre, I would use "Carvoeiro" for simplicity sake, and also because that is what a "regular" EBT user would use. "Mato Serrão" with the same postcode could even be a more "rigorous" choice, however farfetched, and most EBT users would not adopt it.

Thanks, Carlos. I will check it on site tomorrow and will decide what to do.

For the record: I will bring this note. Happy tracking

If you received the bill inside the resort grounds, to be rigorous you should use "Mato Serrão" as Castanhola suggested. [North-West of Carvoeiro (town centre)].

That will be clearly one of the most looked for bills in the near future in Portugal, it would become a wonderful triple!

I have asked it here at the reception. The resort is Mato, so are the restaurants and bars. Time to look for an ATM in Carvoeiro today: all " Dutch" euro's are almost gone

Marco, please use "Mato Serrão" if the bar and market are inside the complex, or "Carvoeiro" if they are located outside the complex and in the town.

"Praia do Carvoeiro" would not be a valid town name.

Does anybody know the correct postal code for Ponte de Piedade at Lagos?
Thanks!

[lmviterbo]

Does anybody know the correct postal code for Ponte de Piedade at Lagos?

It's in fact Ponta (Point / Headland) and not Ponte (Bridge).

The city is Lagos, the postal code is 8600-544, which is good for the lighthouse (Farol) the café "Bar Sol Nascente" and every shop or stand in the area.

[mico]

Já agora este tópico devia ser mais para escrever em português. Para inglês devia usar-se o Comments from/to non-Portuguese users mas também não vou ser demasiado picuinhas em relação a isto.

Fui eu que pedi ao mico para pôr os pedidos aqui. Apesar de estarem em inglês, podem ser úteis no futuro para qualquer utilizador deste tópico (desde que o inglês não lhe seja uma língua totalmente indecifrável, por mais ajuda que possa haver do Google Translate).

well. I decided to follow Castanhola's advice and I continue to write my questions about códigos postais on this thread

8th banknote http://it.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=137097490" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
picture of the street https://maps.google.it/maps?q=Rua+1%C2% ... 9,,0,15.25" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
the entrance door of this Nicola café is to the number 10 or 12

This is the generic postal code but there's another one even more precise, just for the café, which you should use instead: 1249-054

please, don't worry lmviterbo
but on this web site http://www.codigo-postal.pt/?cp4=1249&cp3=054" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I've just introduced the 1249-054 and I obtained this result: NICOLA CAFÉS, 33 (and not 10 or 12). Maybe is this the address of the rear side of Nicola Cafés (front side is in Rossio Square)

12th banknote(s) https://it.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=137095544" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; it's an ATM at the ground floor
and https://it.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=137095022" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; at the 2nd (or 3rd) floor

13th banknote https://it.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=137094811" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
it's an ATM close to the Adega Victor Horta (Restaurant)

14th banknote(s) at the Airport https://it.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=137091192" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
https://it.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=137088420" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
and https://it.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=137088418" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; at the ticket office outside/under the Airport

That site is not official. In spite of that, that information coincides with the official one from CTT's Postal Code Search page. Although I hadn't ever seen this kind of error on the official site, it seems that Portugal's Post Office has indeed screwed up with the door number. I was unable to understand why. There is no Nicola offices at number 33, nor has ever been as far as I can recall. So, I will keep on using that special postal code for Nicola café on the other side of the street (number 10/12).

Vasco da Gama Shopping Center has the postal code 1990-206.

These are all correct. There is no separate postal code for Aeroporto metro station, so that is indeed to be the best one to use.

Oh dear, I've always gone by the address listed on their website (Av. D. João II). Oh boy.
