Other walks in the area
Praia Grande discovery trail in the Algarve
An easy walk to discover both the immense Praia Grande beach and a marshy area that is home to a large number of birds at the Salgados lagoon. All in all, a somewhat wild place.
Rocha da Pena (Rock of Pain)
All in all, an easy hike in a truly sublime, wild and rugged setting. It is a limestone plateau with scrub vegetation and magnificent views from the ridge.
The seven hanging valleys from Praia da Marinha
This unmissable hike in the Algarve connects two magnificent beaches: Praia de Marinha and Praia do Vale de Centeanes. The trail takes you to discover vertiginous cliffs, golden sandy beaches, chasms carved out by the ocean and, if you're lucky, you might even spot dolphins! It is accessible to families and does not present any technical difficulties.
Megalithic route in the Algarve
This easy, well-marked 7.5 km hike is suitable for families and takes you back to the Neolithic era through a landscape of rockroses. Discover the many menhirs and necropolises that dot this "Vale Fuzeiros" archaeological route, as indicated on the sign at the start.
Roman road of Sao Bras de Alportel
A circular loop of just over 5 km with no difficulty in a scrubland landscape. The first third follows an old Roman road (Calçadinha) which is well preserved and has probably been renovated in places. The rest of the route crosses scrubland where you will discover a huge, isolated rock, which is quite unusual in this landscape. The last third is on tarmac but mostly on small roads.
Le Barrocal, Chemin des Fontaines et de la Source
Near Sao Bras de Alportel, I invite you to discover the Barrocal, a region between the coast and the mountains of the Algarve. There are many cork oaks, whose bark is harvested, as well as many shrubs such as carob, almond and olive trees. On this easy 8.5 km hike, you will find fountains, a ford and a cave filled with spring water. The original name of this hike is "caminhos e encruzilhadas de ir à fonte", which can be found on the sign at the start, meaning "paths and crossroads leading to the spring".
