Re: Lighthouse (Clube Golfe Mar, Alfanzina)

Not sure if open yet, but if you go in July or August slap on loads of mozzie spray - don't usually get bitten but the little beggars where everywhere, especially when they put the solar lanterns out :evil:

Re: Typical Meal Costs?

Hi,

Re: August in Carvoeiro

And if you are there from the 7 - 16 August, the Medieval Festival at Silves is a must, all the street are transported back in time with all the towns people dressed up.

Best time of day for boat trip in August

Would really like to take the trip to the caves etc from carvoeiro beach by boat this year, is there a good time of day to go, maybe low tide? If so has anyone any idea when that would be - we are out from the 2nd to 16th of August. Plus do we have to book? Thanks :D
