famous residents

Just curious. Has Carvoeiro had any famous residents and if so, who? More specifically long term residents rather than holiday makers -though would be interesting to know who has been here on holiday.

Plenty of (in)famous residents but famous ??......... well to get the inevitable ball rolling there was good old Ken Wood, inventor of the "famous" Kenwood mixer. Not really resident but had a house here for frequent visits. His widow Pat still owns it.

Then we had Gunther, the "famous" German film actor ........!

Over to you lot!

Think i remember somone saying Kim Wilde and Boy George used to holiday here. And isn't there an apparently famous german rock star living in that resort above Carvalho beach.

Does Cliff Richard count...but then I suppose he is just a little way a way from actually Carvoeiro

No, this is too much . .

For those of you with really strong stomachs, take a gander here if you dare. Full Frontal Cheggers! . . . you have been warned!

Someone told me that Annie Lennox has a villa in Ferragudo, but I don't know if it's true.
& I think a town gets minus celebrity points for Keith Chegwin especially if he's naked, please don't let him know where the naturist beach is.

Cilla Black was shopping in Zara in the Algarve shopping centre!

Cilla? Boy George? Cheggers?

I think I'll give the Algarve a miss and go back to Turkey. The only famous person to visit Hisaronu is that lovely Chesney from Corro

I've never been to Turkey it looks beautiful but I'm afraid I saw 'Midnight Express' at too young an age & it put me off for life

It's not like that nowadays, honestly.

Unless of course, you get caught smuggling drugs - then it's back's to wall
