 Introduction to Carvoeiro
This place was a very small intimate fishing village that has now lost any
resemblance to its modest origins. In 1965 a foreign resident wrote
about the place “The mode of living remains essentially medieval”.
Then there came the tourists and the money. Today, the village spreads
to the east and west with expensive villas and comfortable holiday
apartments. The one and only village street has now become three, each
lined with bars, smart restaurants and tourist shops. Happily, there
are still examples of the older quaint small houses tucked in between
the more recent ones. A 36 Hole Golf Course and a well run Tennis
Centre lies on its outskirts. The choice of this location for the
tourist to acquire property was also because of the variety and
attractiveness of its many small beaches. High cliffs surround most of
these, and some of which have eroded to create beckoning dark caves.
Most of them are mainly accessible only at low tide. Beaches to visit
are Praia de Centianes, Praia de Carvalho, Praia de Benagil, Praia
da Marinha and Praia da Albandeira.
