Carvoeiro Algarve Portugal

Carvoeiro is 36 miles west of Faro and airport, (it is 10 mls E of Portimao). The resort is south west facing, in a generally hilly area with cliffs at waterfront and was a very small intimate fishing village that has lost any resemblance to its modest origins.

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.
