Our morning began with another trip to the Timeout Market, where we stocked up on provisions for our upcoming 3-hour bus journey to Carvoeiro, a charming beach town in the south of Portugal.
From there, we took an Uber to the bus station, and soon we were aboard the bus. The hours passed surprisingly swiftly. Before we knew it, Carvoeiro greeted us with its coastal charm. Another short Uber ride transported us from the bus station to our hotel, the Tivoli, easily the fanciest hotel I’ve stayed in. From our hotel, we marveled at the breathtaking view of the ocean and the distinctive rock formations along the Portuguese coastline.
Once settled, we embarked on a 15-minute walk to the town of Carvoeiro itself, exploring the town and its treasures. Linda, with her keen eye, acquired several more keepsakes to take back to New Mexico (yet another purse may have been purchased).
Later, we headed to dinner, which was another adventure involving yet more steps and steep inclines, but we persevered, reaching our destination - The Square by Raquel Marques. Here, we enjoyed a delightful 5-course meal, a culinary experience that had more hits than misses.
To conclude the evening, we summoned an Uber for a return to our hotel. It was a successful introduction to the charms of Carvoeiro, setting the stage for more seaside exploration in the days to come
