DESCRIPTION
All the news, events and information from Carvoeiro, Algarve, PortugalTRANSCRIPT
This spring has seen Carvoeiro bursting into life with events, entertainment and plenty of new businesses opening their doors.
There was great excitement at the start of March when the long awaited new Aldi supermarket opened for business with the opening day seeing people rushing in to find great deals. But while the new Aldi has added another shopping option for the area the
Intermarché supermarket between Carvoeiro and Lagoa has also been making massive improvements with new floors, fish counter, butchers area and enormous fridges.
Many of the local restaurants that had been closed for the winter months are now reopened in Carvoeiro itself and there are other new venues also opening with the new look Absolutely bar on the “in” road opening for business and Klub Centianes, formerly Algarve 2000 soon to open with live music and entertainment.
We also have a new Indian restaurant open now where Irish Times used to be and there are also two new hairdressing salons, one on the “in” road and the other on the “out” road while there is a new shop selling lovely baby and children’s clothes on the “in” road near to the ice cream shop, Le Petit Prince.
All of these improvements and new businesses show visitors and residents that Carvoeiro is most definitely open for business!
