The pick-up point in faro is u signed and not intuitive to find. Outside the rodoviario and down the road a bit. The bus was late at the pick up but in time at the end so all good.

Luggage not in hold on arrival at Malaga. Little or no help from staff. No English spoken. Not informed that I needed to report lost(stolen?) luggage to police!? for report insurance claim purposes. No admission of liability, no help or compassion whatsoever for my plight. Terrible company.
