Withdrawing cash in Portugal?
So there has been lots of discussion about high ATM fees in Spain. I shall be in Spain for a month, but will arrive at Faro airport in Portugal. Is there a cost-effective way to withdraw Euros there (or in town) before taking the bus to Spain? Or perhaps the banks in Portugal follow the lead set by their Spanish colleagues.

Bought a few bottles of spirits in the UK duty free whilst travelling to the US, now realising that they wont get finished, so will be bringing them back home. They are still in the sealed bags they came in. Do we put them in hand luggage or baggage but open the bags and put them in seperate suitcases? Thanks
