Recommended places in Algarve
This village was the target of many attacks by corsairs and became very well known, with the feat that occurred in 1544, by the troops of D. Pedro da Cunha who defeated the Turkish corsair Xarramet.
Carvoeiro
Carvoeiro is a small town in the western Algarve.
With an ancient history, this picturesque village of fishermen has been growing in recent years as a tourism hub in the municipality of Lagoa.
It is a fishing village from the Arab-medieval period. There is evidence that points to a Roman presence in the town, as well as extensive maritime activity.
In fact, since time immemorial Carvoeiro has been the target of several civilizing attentions. In this magnificent stretch of the Algarve coast, where Nature has worked wonders, the sea was the last resting place for the Romans, victims of naval battles and storms, whose remains, a Roman stock and an anchor, prove their presence.
Today, Carvoeiro strikes a delicate balance between modern amenities and traditional charm, making it a sought-after destination for property buyers and tourists alike.
