Praia do Carvoeiro to give it its full and formal name is a pretty town with a small beach, many varied bars, restaurants and the usual tourist shops. It has managed to avoid the onslaught of high rise concrete apartments and hotels. The vast majority of holiday accommodation is in private villas and low rise small apartment complexes and a few well hidden but high quality hotels.

 

Holidays in the Algarve

While famous for its golfing holidays, there is so much more to the Algarve than spectacular fairways.  The many and well hidden small beaches make for exciting new discoveries every day. For the kids, there are the water parks, Zoomarine where one can see and swim with the Dolphins or you can head inland for a natural zoo and the beautiful Monchique mountains. And lets not forget the friendly reception at the various Portuguese restaurants where children are always welcome. The fish is fresh, sardines are huge, and carnivores will love the steaks, lamb chops and the local specialities of chicken piri-piri Cataplana or suckling pig.  For the more energetic, there is horse riding, tennis, beautiful cliff top walks, and, of course golf !
