The frozen GF custard tarts (Pastel de Nata sem glúten) are on sale in Pingo Doce supermarkets - not sure if in all branches.
If you will be travelling around and having meals out try Senhor Frog in Albufeira (daughter of owner, Sergio, is coeliac - so he is very well informed and helpful) www.senhorfrogs-albufeira.com/frogs_026.htm
Adega da Marina, Av. dos Descobrimentos 35, 8600-315 LAGOS (senior staff understand GF very well - prawns ("shrimps") to die for and good chicken, meat and fish with salad, boiled potatoes or rice);
Pastelaria Chicca, Rua da Várzea 3, Praia da Luz,
8600-137 LAGOS, is owned by an English woman and does GF.

Sergio, the owner of Senhor Frog’s restaurant in Albufeira gave me some very important advice for coeliacs visiting Portugal.
1. Re SANGRIA. For some reason most Portuguese establishments put a little beer in their Sangria – so do check before ordering.
2. White RICE. Check with the chef that he/she hasn’t put Knorr (pronounced C-nore, ‘c’ as in cat) in the rice. Apparently this is common practice now in many restaurants and it is not gluten free.
Also Mcdonalds has a gluten free menu.
Have a great time.
