WALK -MONDAY 16 MARCH 2026 - RIBEIRO DAS CANAS

[Linda and Russell]

Linda and Russell will be leading this walk. It's around 9kms on mostly good tracks, no tarmac, one gradual long uphill, the rest mostly flat or downhill. It is in an area of remote countryside. We should get nice views down into the valley as we wind our way around the top of the hill. THERE ARE 3 RIVER CROSSINGS WITH STEPPING STONES. Usual rules: wear good footwear, bring a pole if you use one, bring a drink, walk at your own risk, no charge.

MEET 9.45am at Cafe Casa de Pasto Riba E Terinha ar Rasmalho. Directions: From the N125 at Portimao turn off and follow signs for Monchique. Go straight ahead at the roundabouts, go onto N266 direction Monchique, pass a petrol station on the left, after 1km you come into Rasmalho. The cafe is on the left. Park on the right as we will be driving a further 2kms to the start of the walk.

The cafe should be open for those wishing to arrive early for a coffee. We will stop at the cafe for drinks after the walk.

A lovely day for walking. 17 walkers and 1 dog. Nice to see the rivers still flowing but we were able to step across the rivers with ease. We even passed a big flock of sheep out with the farmer and his two friendly dogs. Nice al-fresco drinks after and 9 of us stayed for lunch at the cafe. Sorry couldnt reduce the photos enough to get them accepted.
