Just had an email from a certain hotel on the east side for 3 nights to make the most of the Carnival break! What Carnival?

Carnival on the last week of February.

what sort of thing is going on and on what days - is this in CVO or further afield

I assume this finishes on the 25th Feb.

Ah d...! We arrive 28th!

28th is a bank holiday here so there might still be things happening.

Not a lot happens in Carvoeiro over carnival. I mean it's not exacly Rio with half naked mulattas dancing about. Usually some kids events in the square, a band and parade around the town and that is about it really. Ok if the weather is nice but still too cold in Europe at that time to get the samba feeling!

Me? i guess it will be pancakes again

Hey Biffa

Off topic but . . . they have taken away your fire forum (which does make sense) but you are still 'green' - how cool is that?!

And just another idea whilst Steen and the Mods are tidying up the forum - any chance of "Food" and "Restaurants" being amalgamated - they seem to overlap and I know I would struggle to decide between them?

Maddi

edit: took the s of end of Steen - doh!

Good point, maddi. I can't tell one from the other.

Thanks NR,
That has brightened my day.

The best laugh I've had so far today!

Where would I find out more about what might happen in Carvoiero during the Carnival. I am travelling down on 25th Feb and will be staying for a week with 4 adults and wait for it (6 young kids) which I am trying to keep amused. Would the local tourist office know whats on, if in fact there is anything on.
Secondly is it tee shirt weather at the moment. The web cam would indicate so. I am just advising them how to pack.
Thanks
Robbie

A Vela restaurant on the 'out' road, Rua do Barranco, are having a Samba evening with live music on Monday 27th.

Hi Robbie,
Now don't be daft

surely the best carnival is here

By the way did you sort out about the taxis

If you and yours would like a nice day out...why not pick up the boat from Silves and sail lazily

down the Arade River to Portimao....where you will find the main square with water attraction and a good choice of cafés by the river.
