From Seville to Carvoeiro: travel tips

Before you sit down, buckle up, and relax in the comfortable Daytrip’s vehicle to travel from Seville to Carvoeiro, there are a couple of things that are good to know or be prepared for to enjoy your stay in Carvoeiro:

Pick up basic Portuguese

Although Carvoeiro is a resort town where most people at hotels and restaurants speak English, knowing a few phrases in Portuguese can put a smile on the locals’ faces. Here are some phrases that may come in handy:

• Olá (Hello)
• Obrigado or obrigada (Thank you)
• Por favor (Please)
• Adeus (Goodbye)
• Desculpe (Sorry)
• Quanto custa? (How much is it?)

Here’s a tip to polish your European Portuguese pronunciation: when the letter ‘S’ is at the end of a word or followed by a consonant (such as ‘C’ and ‘T’, as in the examples above), it sounds like ‘SH’ (as in ‘shell’). So, the word ‘adeus’ is pronounced as ‘adeush’.
