Bin Shabib Mall Bricks and mortar spies reckon some of the developers in places like the Portuguese Algarve must have been in the sun too long. They're still building, building and building as though they haven't heard we're in the worst recession in memory with banks going bust every five minutes and governments having to nationalise and bail out entire economies. In pricey places like the Vale do Lobo you can't have a nice quiet eighteen holes for the cacophony of diggers and tractors and platoons of builders wolf whistling lady golfers.
