First thought is that you need a car, or spend all your time on very long walks!

Best for big shops will be Intermarche on the road out from Carvoeiro to the N125/Lagoa,you'll need a car for that. Or what was Modelo also on the N125. Also a car job! There are local shops around Sesmarias, but obviously more expensive.

To get into Carvoeiro or get to beaches,,,,,car, taxis or spend your entire holiday walking :lol:
Get the hint running through this post? :lol: :lol:

There is a Spar shop on the main road leading to Ferragudo which is quite well stocked and does have a small bakery area.

Long walks are not a problem , Iam guessing that I could make it into cvo in an hour (taxi back) .
Intend doing 3-4 hours walking each day , I live on an island with no cars we walk everywhere , time will be no problem.

Just need to pick up some essential supplies on the afternoon of arrival, bread , milk , butter , wine etc .
just needed to know location in sesmarias so I dont take the long route.

Have been checking locations of various places on google maps , just need a grocery shop now.
