Walking in the ALGARVE
walking routes with description and GPS track
Walking is tasting of the world
Walking in the Algarve is a truly exceptional experience. Due to the mild climate and beautiful nature, the Portuguese Algarve is a fantastic place to discover on foot. The ideal walking period is from September until June. Hundreds of miles of unpaved roads, hardly used goat tracks and trails, meander through a miraculous landscape. Old mills, rivers that rumble through lush valleys with sleepy little towns appearing at the most unexpected moments during your walk.
Walking Algarve offers unique hiking adventures off the beaten track in Europe. On our website, explore the amazing hiking trails in southern Portugal, with a special focus on the magical Eastern Algarve.
