Bus to Vale de Milho

[holiday1]

Hi

We are coming to CVO for the 9th time soon, staying at vale de milho for the 3rd time. We always get a car and whilst we are this year, there is a larger party of us and I wanted to confirm that a bus from town will stop at the bus stop just down from the bottom of the hill up to Vale de Milho (near Centianes beach) - and do you know (a) where you get it from, (b) how frequently they are (c) what time they run from/to and (d) how much it is?

Many thanks

Quite frequent then - where do you get on it in town?

Many thanks for all your help

The train runs to Vale do Milho - not sure of the times though

[ANDY]

Train dosnt stop or pick up passengers .
You get on in Carvoeiro center and are returned there, the taxi drivers but a stop to the picking up and dropping off on route around carvoeiro years ago, for obvious reasons.

Andy - we got off outside our house last Summer - but I understand your point

[holiday1]

We go on the train every time (thanks to having an excitable 4year old!!) but it's never stopped other than in town?

[shanagarry]

Did you ask him to stop?

I'm not saying anybody is wrong and was not aware that it went to VdM until I saw it go past our property one morning. The next time we were in town and together with a friend we took the train home, while the Ladies drove - it took the train forever - but he stopped at our house when we asked him to.

I can understand the Taxi drivers getting 'excited' - but there's no competition as the train is far too slow and infrequent. We won't be doing that again.
