What people say

Courtney Britz
"Algar Seco is characterized by beautiful rock features. This is a great area to walk around and explore. You can walk here from Carvoeiro beach walking along the boardwalk. Legend says the rock formations in this area were formed by the tears of Princess Alfanzaina. The princess fell in love with a poor coaler and they were meeting at Algar Seco hiding from her father. When the King discovered them together he killed the coaler. The princess mourned his loss and her tears fell on the ground holes formed in the rocks. "

"Algar Seco is located a few hundred meters before Carvoeiro, it is a set of rocks and limestone caves of all shapes and sizes from where you can admire the ocean, it can be visited either on foot via the marked path or by boat."
Kristien Vorsters
"Walk on, between and through (and maybe even jump off?) the cliffs of Carvoeiro. "

Portugal is one of the best European countries for an on the road: it's easy to get around, it enjoys an excellent climate almost all year round, the food is good and there are lots of things to do and see for all tastes. We spent 14 days in Portugal and I can tell you that there is no better choice we could have made in our life. Its wild beaches, the cliffs that will take your breath away, its villages populated by medieval houses..
