Lagoa (Faro District) walks

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.

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.

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.

Ponta da Piedade is a natural site made up of cliffs, arches and sandy beaches battered by the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. It is an extraordinary place to take beautiful photos at the beginning or end of the day. This walk will take you around this headland, located a few dozen minutes' walk from Lagos.

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.

This sixth stage is varied. You leave Aljezur via the Camino historico and, after a steep climb, descend gently towards the mouth of the Ribeira de Aljezur. You then take the coastal path with superb panoramic views from the cliff edge. The end of the route takes you through a pleasant pine forest and then open terrain.

This eighth stage is relatively short but challenging! The first half takes place along the coast, on trails that alternate between ascents and descents, some of which are steep. Superb panoramic views await you. The second part takes place inland.

This fourth stage is long and offers a variety of landscapes. The views from the cliff edge are superb!
