  • The roofs down, now it's time for the walls. Im on a mission to get the extension rebuilt as soon as possible. Summer is still here in the Algarve but rain will come sooner or later. Hopefully later.

    "Soda brand Bel Fruto, from the company Quintódio, was one of several brands of beverages produced in Faro, Portugal. Quintódio has also produced other sodas under brands such as Solfruto and Sufruto, excelling in the regional market for several decades.
    While there isn't much detailed information on exact foundation and termination dates, it is known that the beverages of the Quintódio were popular in the Algarve region and possibly distributed in local markets until the mid-nineties. These brands represented an example of the diversity of regional sodas in Portugal prior to the dominance of large multinationals in the beverage sector, like the portuguese brand Sumol."
    ....
    Considering that kind of bootle and its graphics, probably its from the 70's, mid 80's max (due to pyrographic label).
    The bottle of Água Castelo (AC) for the same reason its also from the same years.
