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 hubbub of the summer season begins to simmer down, there is still a lot to do and see in the Algarve. From art to music, gastronomy events and even something for motorheads, we take a look at what this autumn has to offer.

Speaking of autumn, we take a look at how some seasonal visitors like the Eurasian jay help the spread of oak tree forests in the region. Elsewhere in this edition, we visit the new Pure Monchique Hotel, and the historic Quinta da Palmeirinha, to learn more about some of the region’s oldest vines.

Finally, we speak with local artist Wendy Beugels about how the region influences her stunning watercolours.
