My husband and I are looking for a long stay (4-5 weeks) in Carvoeiro mid-February to mid-March and rent a car. Has anyone stayed here during this time of year? We realize the weather will not be hot but that is ok - we're good with 15C/60F temps as long as it's not pouring with rain everyday. It's been a long time since we were in the Algarve (1995!) but we like the idea of spending a few weeks in southern Portugal or Spain during Feb/March. We recently came across Carvoeiro as a place to stay that seems to tick many boxes for us including feeling like we will live like a local (vs other southern Portugal/Spain towns like Marbella, Albuferia or Lagos); we want local vibes, not nightclubs/partys. We plan to golf about 3x/week and then come 'home' to a 2bed/2bath apartment (friends will join us for a week or so) that is walking distance to amenities (cafes/shopping). Please let me know if you've been to Carvoeiro, specifically:
-good area/neighbourhood to stay in Carvoeiro?
-what was the weather like in Feb/March (temps? did it rain a lot?)
-recommended golf courses?
-any other small, beach towns you would recommend we should check out instead of Carvoeiro? (we're open to southern Portugal or Spain)
Many thanks fellow RS travellers for your input...I look forward to reading your replies!
