"When moving to Carvoeiro, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for the Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the warm summers and heavier clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack swimwear for the beautiful beaches and comfortable walking shoes for exploring the town. You should also pack essential toiletries, although these can also be purchased locally. If you take prescription medication, ensure you have enough to last until you can arrange a local supply. Bring your important documents such as passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or residency permits. It's also a good idea to have copies of these, as well as any important medical records. If you plan on driving, consider bringing your own vehicle, but remember to also bring an international driving permit if your license is not European. Pack any electronics you use daily, like your laptop or smartphone, along with the necessary chargers and adapters for European outlets. If you're moving permanently, you might want to bring personal items that make you feel at home, such as photos, favorite books, or small keepsakes. Lastly, don't forget to pack a Portuguese phrasebook or dictionary to help you settle in and communicate with locals," remarked another expat who made the move to Carvoeiro, Portugal.
