What I like about about Carvoeiro is when I check out the webcam at about 8.00 PM Canadian Time (that MST for the Central Canadians and 3.00 AM for the Carvoeiro folks) all is peaceful and quiet on the square; makes you feel that all is well in our world. I hope it will never change because that is what makes you feel safe and secure, it's like that anyway in the winter, but it gives me a feeling of security when I see it even in the more "touristy" season. Please let's all try and work towards of keeping it that way. Have a wonderful weekend. Heini

I know what you mean by that feelling of security you get looking at it.
But isn't it a bit difficult for you being in Canada to help work towards keeping it like that. You mean us locals/ regulars/ goafers don't you surely?

I think Heini meant the world but I think know where she's coming from, if only the worlds problems were the same as Carvoeiro. Good on you Heini. Lovely thoughts and if only they were.

From the title I would say heini is talking about cvo?
I think Carvoeiro's smallness will help it to stay that way. As long as theres a control over the speed merchants.But dont hold out much hope for that.

I know it is almost impossible to change the world but what I meant about "all of us" is: locals, visitors and fans of Carvoeiro.

Me2 H, Log on at weird times just to look, maybe grass is always greener syndrome kicks in but the webcam does things for me. At work when all is going tits up I try to to have a "mellow birds" moment in front of my screen, my staff think I am watchin.... well who knows what they think but the webcam deffo helps.

I think Carvoeiro will always retain its fishing village ambience. Its a rather small area around the square & beach, so I can't see anything changing much. To me theres that 'family holiday 'feel to it there;an intimacy, which is rather nice
Confess, I don't look at the webcam that much, or that closely and when I do, its just to see if the sky is blue or cloudy!
nite all

Nice thought Heini...I can relate to what you say...it's nice to have something to turn to for a moment of downtime from our everyday life...if it works for you...why not.

We will be first time visitors (although been to algarve many times) and going off the comments we cant wait.Sounds like a special place!

When I was living in England I used to log on sometimes just to look at the webcam, it made me feel wistful. Now I'm living here & it's wonderful . Still check out the webcam though just to see who's out & about. Nosey by nature I'm afraid.

I have a link to the webcam in my favourites both at work and at home, and visit it frequently during the day. We cannot wait and are looking forward to moving out to retire in CVO towards the end of next year - depending on when Terracos da Vigia completes.
