My mate has a villa in Lagos and we started on the barragem bravura but gradually moved up country in search of of barbel fishing at places like the Sado at St Margarita de Sado, get on google earth plenty of remote places, and found we were travelling so far it was more time and cost effective to stay in country. The Guardiano is well worth a a trip and my personal favourite is Mertola facing the old town walls.
As regards the Algarve, as you suggest, it's a bit limited. I'm hearing good reports about the Odelouca for barbel but haven't fished it yet. If you get on there, can you let me know how you go on please ?
Yeah will do.
I have heard rumours the best place for Barbel is up near Sao Marcos da Serra which is the feed into the Arade Dam.
I also want to try the river at Odemira which looks beautiful.
