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. As experienced walkers with a passion for this region, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the most breathtaking hiking trails, so you can experience the best of the region.

Discover the Algarve’s hidden treasures on foot and be surprised by the diversity of nature, which can be enjoyed all year round thanks to its mild climate. Our official walks, personally explored by our team, come with comprehensive photos and detailed descriptions.
In addition, you can download the GPS track for each route, allowing you to confidently enjoy all that the Algarve has to offer in terms of hiking. Choose one of the available hiking options below and begin an unforgettable journey through this beautiful region..
