Stayed at Carvoeiro Sol, Hotel - Algarve, Portugal.
|
Carvoeiro is a small village with a good beach and is a friendly place, very good for families or adults -- not a place for the "clubbing" fraternity!
All sorts of restaurants to suit all tastes and price ranges (the only "flavour" missing seems to be Thai cuisine); it seems that the Tourist Menu option (which was excellent value when available -- we have been to Carvoeiro 4 times so far) is being phased-out, so a la carte pricing is now the norm.
Recommended restaurants are:-
Via Italia -- pricey but excellent Italian food,with a canopied terrace;always busy!
O Cantinho -- mid-range prices;good local dishes and friendly service
Galleria -- eating in a garden setting (but some of the flowers are synthetic!);good value in lower price range.
Bon Bon (at Ses Marias,a 10 minute taxi ride out of Carvoeiro) -- 5-star cuisine with high class service; has a wonderful view of sunsets over the Serra Monchique mountain range to the North.
China Town -- eat-in or takeaway; both equally good
Most bars have satellite TV and show main sporting events.

Stayed at Metropole, Hotel - Lisbon, Portugal.
|
Lisbon is an excellent weekend destination: lots to see in the city itself and a variety of places further afield worth an excursion.
Getting around couldn't be easier or cheaper (special tourist travel passes available on presentation of a passport).
Highlights include the amazing oceanarium, the riverside suburb of Belem, riding on the superannuated streetcars and a day walking around Sintra.
