    buy nothing in airports of either country! irelands is crazy expensive and faro is proportionately worse again.

    things are generally noticeably cheaper in Portugal yet their airport is on a par with ours.
    whisky and it seems all alcohol is a good bit cheaper yonder.
    fags the same, crazy taxes!

    ++1 Buy nothing until you get there. I see people buying flip-flops in airports and I just laugh!

    Buy port. Wine (green particularly). Some leather goods (though mostly from Morocco).
