Thanks for all the info given so far - have made a note for when we come out!!

Thanks to all that have replied so far...one more thing...is it still reasonably hot or do I need to pack a jumper or two?

we are looking at possibly coming over to Carvoeiro in Oct, but have been told that the season ends in Sep and nothing will be left open ( ie restaurants etc ). Is this true?

My partner is vegetarian ( a proper one that doesn't eat fish either! ). Apart from an omelette, does anyone know of anything that he is likely to be able to get at a restaurant and if so - at what restaurants.

Many Thanks!
