We are visiting Carvoeiro 1st week in Oct. This will be our 5th visit. Was wondering if there are any nice childrens clothes shops in the village as we have never come across any for our two toddler girls. Or would we need to go further afield to Lagoa? Don`t plan to do too much shopping (plenty of R&R planned) but European kids clothes are normally so lovely!

The only place I know of is opposite the old pottery market on the out road, just past the turning for Monte Dourado. They sell adult clothes & childrens (upstairs I think), I have bought some cute stuff for my nieces in there. Otherwise I know there are a couple of really nice childrens clothes shops in Algarve Shopping in Guia including Zara's which has a good childrens section usually tres trendy.

Sometimes you can pick up some bargains in the chinese shops. I have bought a few lovely kids outfits in the past. Can be a bit hit or miss but worth a look.

Thanks for the tips. Can`t wait to fly out on Thurs.
