Arrived a couple of days ago and by coincidence same time as this festival, looking forward to seeing Carvoeiro in a whole different light after 30 years of visiting.

Hi all, hope you’re all enjoying the new year so far. As a regular Carvoeiro visitor for over 30 years and past property owners there, I have a question.
