Welcome to Praia do Carvoeiro

The coastline of Lagoa town council, with Carvoeiro at its centre and spreading out west towards Ferragudo and east to Senhora da Rocha, is generally recognised as the most beautiful of the Algarve. In fact our most famous beach, Praia da Marinha, is regularly rated as one of the most beautiful in the world. Those of us who live here often take for granted the fantastical rock formations, clifftop views and picture-perfect beaches that are on our doorstep. Boat trips along the coast have long been an obligatory excursion for visitors to the area but over recent years there has been a surge in interest from walkers, whether serious hikers or those just out for stroll. The local authorities have gone to great lengths to harness the potential of this natural asset, building our wonderful wooden walkway from Algar Seco to Carvoeiro’s church and marking out hiking trails in some other areas.

Current issue

As the year drew to a close when we went to print with our final edition of 2022, the region had much to celebrate. On top of a very a positive year for tourism in the Algarve, Lagoa was named the “best municipality to live in Portugal” in a study carried out by the Institute of Behavioural Technology, securing the highest score in the ‘Tourism’, ‘Wellbeing’ and ‘Safety, Diversity and Tolerance’ categories.

It is true that this part of the Algarve has much to offer, and two Indian couples saw the potential here to grow their own Aloe vera plants and create a cosmetics business. With eight shops across the region, Aloegarve has created a range of all-vegan and organically produced items always with the “Algarve essence” at heart.

And speaking of locally produced, we head over to João Clara Wines, in Alcantarilha, where a family of winemakers is perpetuating one man’s dream by bringing tradition and innovation together under one roof. Elsewhere in this edition, we visit Vila Vita Parc resort, where Algarvian artist Vanessa Barragão has displayed a stunning creation inspired by the ocean.
