During the last week I've seen a sign written mini bus several times either in Ferragudo or going between there and CVO. I've not seen any publicity for it nor heard about it. Anybody know of it?

If it's a new /recent service then it could do quite well depending on where it goes, price and frequency.

There is some information on Carvoeiro forum Facebook page

Here is the map , there is a webpage also . http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2 ... =1AQHUcvsr

The other map

Obviously no-one gives a damn about the disabled eh! Hop on and hop off indeed!!

Is this planned to be year-round?

Looks really useful for if you do not have a car Presume Farol stop is near Rocha Brava.
Facebook page down at moment - wanted to see timetable for exact times and costs.
Can't wait to use it!

There is a bus-stop just inside the main entrance to Rocha Brava, opposite the coffee shop.

The bus stop in the resort Rocha Brava is probably for their own service to the square. The bus stop Farol de Alfanzina on the timetable is at the T junction just past Jardim do Farol.

Rocha Brava's own minibus runs from reception. The bus stop opposite the coffee shop is new, and I've seen the Rota das Falesias bus using it.

Useful, is this in addition to the Farol de Alfanzina bus stop on the main road or as an alternate?

Can't say. I only know what I saw when I was walking to the shop.

so, is it year-round?

Appears to be all year round , was on it today . Went to Ferragudo . €6 for 24 hour ticket or €9 for 48 hours . Comfortable bus with free wifi on board .

Sitting in Rosa Bar at Sesmaris this afternoon and 2 Hop On Hop Off buses passed going in same direction within 20 minutes of each other. Think one stopped outside Jophil Bar.
