An intricate web of winding streets leading down to the sandy beach from where small fishing boasts still operate. Recent years have seen the development of luxury villa estates on the magnificent cliff tops and rural surroundings.
A minute of History:
This was a very small intimate fishing village that has 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.
General Information:
This cosmopolitan resort has a wide selection of restaurants and bars, a few night clubs, boutiques, banks, chemist and all the shops essential for your daily needs.
Where to go:
Carvoeiro is also an ideal base from where to make daytrips inland where you’ll find the Moorish capital of Silves and the spas at Caldas.
Where to go:
Near to Carvoeiro is the village of Ferragudo, still an unspoilt fishing village. Lagoa the area administrative town is also close to the home of the 11th Century Arab poet “Ibn Ammar”. Inland is the unspoilt small village of Porches. Another place that is a must to visit is the inland historic and interesting city of Silves with its fine remains of its castle.
Beaches:
The choice of this location for the tourist to acquire property was also because of the variety and attractiveness of its many 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 de Marinha and Praia da Albandeira.
Sports:
For the more energetic, 10 tennis courts at the Carvoeiro Club and 2 eighteen hole gold courses are close at hand, whilst at nearby Benagil horseriding can be found.
