Fascinating Rock Formations, A Medieval Castle And Hand Painted Ceramics...
Carvoeiro holidays have a stunningly beautiful location in the Algarve. A prosperous fishing village sheltered between rocky outlets with a stunning natural harbour, the small yet beautiful clean beach, shelves gently into the clear blue Atlantic waters; ideal for snorkelling and swimming. The hills beyond cradle pretty whitewashed villages, lush green cypress plantations, and present stunning views, especially at sunset. Carvoeiro holidays are definitely for beach lovers - here you can either laze around all day watching the local fishermen bringing in their haul, walk along the cliff path to discover hidden rocky coves which are ideal for secluded sunbathing or take a boat trip along the coastline and venture to many tiny inlets inaccessible from land.
If you can tear yourself away from beach life then a visit to Ferragudo beach will provide water sports galore, and boat trips to Algar Seco will show off fascinating rock formations. Back on dry land Silves will offer an insight into the history of this part of the world with its Roman beginnings and Medieval Castle. Portimao provides great shopping and alternative places to eat, while hand painted ceramics are a speciality in Porches.
