Walk Friday 18 November 2016 : Porches to Albandeiro(CLOSED)
Posted: Sat Aug 20, 2016 9:10 am
Willie has agreed to lead on this Easy Friday Strollers Walk ; a change from thursday this week as we won't be back from Spain by then.
Walk is now full, so closed
Details are, from Willie:
"This is a superb walk of great variety, starting off through a hamlet, then crossing the dunes, then through a valley to the cliffs between Marinha and Albandeiro Beaches then back through the valley. A camera is a must if you have not seen the cliffs! It is no more than a 1 on our scale but there is the occasional short sharp climb.
The start point is the Cafe/Restaurant known as Casa de Pasto Paragem. Coming from CVO take the N125 heading east towards Faro. Go past the International School and the traffic lights for Benagil and pass the two BP garages. Just after this take the first right off the roundabout heading uphill for Porches & Armacao de Pera. Keep on this main road and after about 1/2 mile you will come to open ground on the right side then the Casa de Pasto Paragem. There is a lot of open ground for parking opposite. The cafe at the start does a good cheap lunch!
Geoff's usual caveats apply,(especially you walk at your own risk)
Start : 10am start.
Degree of Difficulty ( scale 1:5 ) : 1, easy
Duration : 2 hours
As numbers may need to be limited, please state below if you intend to come. No charge, of course.
