I was told that the guy at the end of my video

paddles from Ferragudo. I don't know if it's true but presumably he came from somewhere, went into the back of Steen's place then left a few minutes later and paddled back.

According to this route planner it is 9 km and it takes by car 18 minutes :D and walking 2 hours and 17 minutes :( So my advise would be: Take a taxi or hire a car. Take a look at this site and find out yourselve. click here
Have a nice drive or walk!

It's not a walk but well worth the taxi ride especially if you like sea food restaurants.

It is still an unspoilt fishing village.

When were were over in Carvoeiro last August the land train went there - one day in the week. Left the square at 11am and back about 3.00 (i think those were times) - only a few Euro's per person.

5 weeks today!!!! :D

We walked it from CVO last April - it took us about 3hrs, due to a couple of wrong turns - very nice walk, but wouldn't fancy it in really hot weather as there are a few hills to negotiate. Take plenty of water.

We got a taxi back, which apparently are in very short supply so we asked the restaurant owner if they could order us one & it took a few phone calls for them to find one available.

There is no direct bus route, I think you have to change at Lagos & then Lagoa??
