Description
The landscape and the journey
Nike Werstroh and Jacint Mig reveal southern Portugal’s wooded hills, villages and inland paths alongside its beaches and cliffs. Use one base or choose accommodation around the walks you most want to explore.
Routes and itinerary options
The 32 routes cover 4–18 kilometres and approximately one to six hours across eastern Algarve, the central region, south coast and western Costa Vicentina. Seven Hanging Valleys and Serra de Monchique feature among short outings and longer walking days.
Maps and practical planning
1:25,000 or 1:50,000 maps, Cicerone GPX files and access, parking, public-transport and meal-stop information support daily planning, with nature and landscape background. Use the route information to compare stages, plan your stops and check practical arrangements before departure.
Choosing the right trip
Grades 1–3 span easier short walks and longer or rougher routes. The publisher favours October–May; summer can be extremely hot. Choose an itinerary that fits your experience and available time, allowing flexibility for weather and local conditions.
