#1 Take a bottle of the fizzy stuff to a good vantage point on the cliffs and watch the sun go down.

top tip indeed! i remember we found a nice viewing spot on the cliffs up at the right side near the main Carvoeiro beach. also watched the seagulls fly by at eye height.

#2 well dont know if this is actually possible in CVO but rent a (speed)boat and spend a day on the water. did it once on corfu great fun! espacially if you can find some secluded beach.

#3 Hire a mountain bike and cruise the oldest narrowest dustiest roads. You will find the "old Algarve" sitting right beside the new one...

#4......…see in the new year with a sing-song, a bottle of bourbon and a small group of friends strumming guitars sitting around a camp-fire on the beach….

Sorry not permitted to make fires on the beach or anywhere else this time of year

Pinkie

Digger said a fire at New Year - are they not allowed then Pinkie?

no fires on beaches allowed

of course….one would only do it on ones own private beach…wouldn’t one…

I vote for Falcon's idea.

or.............drive up to Foia on a really clear night and lie down and look at the stars. There's no light pollution up there, and you can see all sorts with naked eye. Better still take a telescope or bino's and see the aliens watching us. Oh dont forget the wacky if you want to see the aliens.

From some of the people Ive witnessed hereI think THEY are here already Bob
