== Geography ==
Carrapateira lies by road northwest of Lagos and northwest of Faro. It is located along the N268 road. To the northeast is the village of Bordeira while the village of Vilarinha lies to the southeast.〔 A small stream named Ribeira da Carrapateira flows through the village, and it is surrounded by the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park.
Situated in a hilly, dry and barren area, with only a small river and a few wells, Carrapeteira never supported a large population. It was traditionally a hamlet conjoined in a single parish with nearby Raposeira, dependent on the municipality of Vila do Bispo (until 1855) and then Lagos.〔Pinho Leal (1874) ''Portugal antigo e moderno'', (p.118 )〕 In September 1861, the parish of Carrapateira was conjoined to Bordeira, both deducted from Lagos and transferred to the municipality of Alzejur.〔J.M. Baptista, ''Chorographia moderna do reino de Portugal'' (1876: (p.594 ))〕
Carrapateira sits on a small indented headland of limestone cliffs on the western Vincentine coast of the Algarve. Carrapateira point, or Pontal, was a traditional danger for sailing ships, its high reddish rock formations looking deceptively similar to Cape St. Vincent, the southwest corner of Portugal's coast some eleven miles further south.〔"Cabo de S. Vicente", ''Panorama'' (1841: (p.418 )); G.M. Totten, ''The Northwest and West Coast of Spain and the Coast of Portugal'' (1874: (p.182 ))〕 The extremely fast southbound current and the jutting headland that made it a dangerous lure for shipwrecks in the past also creates the conditions which have made it a popular surfing destination in recent years. To the north of the Carrapateira headland is the vast Praia da Bordeira, regarded as one of the best beaches in Portugal, "noted for its rugged limestone cliffs and extensive sand dunes".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Best beaches in the Algarve, Portugal: Praia da Bordeira, Carrapateira )〕〔Michelin Guide gives Praia da Bordeira a star (''Descobre Portugal'', 2008: (p.273 ))〕 to the south is the Praia do Amado, highly popular with surfers. The village contains the Carrapateira Surfhouse, offering surf courses for beginners and guided surf tours.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CARRAPATEIRA Surfcamp, Surf School & Surfaris )〕
