Attractions
Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Rocha Brava is located about 3kms from the very attractive seaside town of Carvoeiro. There is a courtesy mini bus service provided by the resort to and from the town three times a day. We often walk into town along the clifftops and boardwalks and catch the courtesy minibus back to the resort. Nearby attractions are the unparalleled coastline with magnificent cliffs, sandy beaches and coastal towns and villages. So many interesting things to do and see. An extensive selection of cuisine and great Portuguese wines are offered at nearby restaurants, some within walking distance.
