Catrineta in Carvoeiro
March 2nd, 2021
Today we’re continuing our wander through the Algarve with a stop in sunny Carvoeiro.
We LOVED our two-night stay here at Algar Seco Parque, located on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. The complex has studios, suites catrineta (♥), apartments, bungalows and villas within a beautifully landscaped site. Rates are reasonable for such comfortable accommodations (with kitchens) — 68 to 200+ Euros per night. We relaxed on our terrace, stopped by the pool, and followed the neighboring boardwalk into town where we watched a football match with the locals and enjoyed a great dinner in view of the town’s beach.
If you’re in search of a relaxing coastal getaway when we’re free to roam the globe again, this beachy little town just might do the trick. I highly recommend!
Scroll down to stroll the boardwalk at sunset. Does it get any better?
See you tomorrow!

P.S. I’m behind on comments again and will reply tomorrow.

A lovely spot to watch the sun set. Far too busy for us in the summer months. Maybe not this year? 🙂 🙂

Probably not. Even with things improving, I don’t expect to be flying across any oceans before fall at the earliest.

Amazing sunset pics and location. That boardwalk looks like absolute bliss on a no hurry vacation.
Also, there seem to be lights fitted, do you have a pic of how it looks after dark? It would feel amazing to stand there in the dark and hear the surf breaking, I think.

I know! I was looking at those lights thinking how nice it is that the boardwalk is illuminated at night. Unfortunately, we weren’t there after dark to enjoy it. If I ever go back, I’ll get a photo!

Although there don’t seem to be any exceptional monuments in Carvoeiro, I understand the desire to enjoy a few days in this pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. The design of the tourist complex is tasteful and the boardwalk is just brilliant to take a comfortable walk on the cliff.

Yes, the boardwalk is such an enjoyment. All good things in close proximity including a couple restaurants and a nice hill to walk up on the way home to get some slow exercise after dinner (and an Ile flottante). 🙂

Ha! Such strange and stagnant times indeed. Happy that the posts are teasing you. It’s been fun reliving them but I’m running out. I’ve decided to go for a full 365 posts (about 33 to go) and then I’m going to take a break. Hoping to maybe fit in a spring trip to get the wheels turning again and write about something new.
