Carvoeiro Information
Carvoeiro
- Description
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. 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 &
Holiday Complex can be found to the west of the village
together with a well run Tennis Centre. To the east and on
the outskirts is a further 9-Hole Course. A couple of Lawn
Bowling Clubs add to the choice of sport. The area has long
been considered a excellent area for tourist to acquire
property and also due to the variety and pleasure provided
its many small beaches. High cliffs surround most of these,
and some of which have eroded to create beckoning dark caves
most of which are only accessible at low tide. Beaches to
visit are Praia de Centianes, Praia de Carvalho, Praia de
Benagil, Praia de Marinha and Praia da Albandeira.

To
the west and near to Carvoeiro is the village of Ferragudo,
which still remains as a virtually un-spoilt small fishing
village. Lagoa, the nearby area administrative town is also
close to the birth place of the 11th Century renown Arab
poet "Ibn Ammar". Inland is the typical inland small village
of Porches. Another place that is a must to be visited is
the inland historic and interesting city of Silves with its
remains of its castle as a reminder of its greater past.
