Portugal resident daily news and lifestyle

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

Our team is thrilled to present the 50th edition of Inside Carvoeiro magazine. It has been a great adventure getting here, with many things changing over the years of bringing readers the inside information on the people and places that make our village the increasingly popular destination resort that we all know and love today. To celebrate, we thought it was fitting to take a trip down memory lane. Starting on page 18 we look at the past, present and future of Praia do Carvoeiro, highlighting some of the pioneering expats who were fundamental to developing the area. For another blast from the past, we look into the history of local icon Boneca Bar restaurant, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. We also visited the studio of long-time local resident David Pearce, who now dedicates his time to paiting portraits. Elsewhere in this edition, we speak to Ana Matias Chaves from Herdade do Barranco do Vale winery, near São Bartolomeu de Messines, who is honouring her grandfather’s heritage. On page 36, we visit the new adults-only Alamos Retreat for a look at this unique B&B.
