Carvoeiro
The typical Carvoeiro village with its small fisherman’s
beaches and several other nice sandy beaches along the
coast. Although Carvoeiro is now a real holiday village, the
strict building rules have avoided that Carvoeiro has become
one of the places with towering apartment buildings, like
Albufeira or Armacao de Pera. The charm and character of
Carvoeiro has been preserved.
