Extra walk : Friday 24 Feb 2017 : Norinho/Elias

Post by Geoff »

This is an almost new walk ( well , about 1 hour 15 mins is new , with another 1 hour up in the hills on tracks some might remember). I want to test it out, so it's a sort of a recce walk! total time about 2h 30 mins

The first part is flat along the lavada , the middle bit is flattish along the top, but there are a few quite steep hills to climb to get there !

The cafe is untried, but they seem to do a good looking grilled meat or fish prata de dia for 7.5€....lunch is optional.

Degree of Difficulty ( scale 1:5 ) : probably 3 Energetic

Start:10.00 am


Directions : drive from Carvoeiro to Silves, go over the bridge and turn right and follow the N124 for about 3.2 kms until you see Cafe Casa de Pasto a Norinho on your left : park in layby opposite.

GPS : 37°12'20.6"N, 8°24'38.0"W
37.2057131N 8.4116553,312W


Usual caveats: all walks are at your own risk, and we do not walk if it is pouring with rain.....I will endeavour to put any cancellation note on this site by 0830 on the day of the walk.

Walking boots/stout trainers , walking pole(s), hats and water recommended. No charge, of course.

Please indicate below if you can come as numbers are limited.

A lovely day for walking , little fresh to start with, balmy and hot by finish. All seemed to think it's a good new walk, just on 2h 30m including a few stops to admire views/catch breaths.
My camera batteries have died so here is Ken's photo:

6 of us tried the Norinho, where we had bread/olives, half a frango or 3 pork steaks or a dorado, a choice of choc mousse/fresh fruit salad or rice...and a coffee...and a drink...we were a bit worried about " a drink" till we realised that was half a litre of wine each!
All for 7.5€, cooked on the open BBQ in front of us.

We'll be back, both for the walk and the lunch.
