We have been travelling to Carvoeiro for many years now and since the place feels like a second home we are in the process of buying a house. Can anyone recommend any eletrical stores for our white goods, TV DVD etc. We are planning to drive to Ikea in Seville for the furniture unless anyone has any better suggestions. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.dimensao.pt/swf/index2.htm sells modern (Italian) furniture but is more expensive than Ikea. They have a branch on the Kit Market development on N125 just above Albufeira.
