Introduction to Carvoeiro
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 and 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. (Visit - Portugal History)
Carvoeiro - Nearby Locations
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 famous 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.
