Portugal Day 8: Carvoeiro Farewell: Wine Adventure and Exploring Coastal Charms

On our final day in Carvoeiro, Alison and Michael kicked off the morning with an early walk. They followed a picturesque walking path and boardwalk along the ocean, where opportunities to explore caves and rock formations beckoned, and they couldn't resist.












Upon their return, they met Linda for breakfast at the hotel. Having explored much of Carvoeiro in the preceding days, we decided to switch things up. We opted for an Uber ride to a local winery, Quinta Dos Valles, for a wine tasting experience. However, it became evident rather quickly that these wines didn't quite match our palates, and our leisurely vineyard visit turned into a prompt pivot.





Our new destination was the coastal fishing town of Ferragudo, just a short Uber ride away. The town charmed us as we roamed its streets, delving into local shops. Our exploration led us to a delightful outdoor patio where we settled in for lunch.


Linda ordered a burger, while Michael and Alison decided to savor local fish. Alison received a plate of gargantuan sardines and required a brief tutorial from the waiter on how to enjoy them. Michael opted for a local white fish. Both dishes were good but called for some extensive deboning.







Post-lunch, we made our way back to the hotel, where our arranged car awaited to transport us to the airport. It marked the end of our memorable stay in Carvoeiro, as we bid farewell to Portugal on our way back to London.
