The walk is around 10kms approximately 2 1/2 hours. Start time 10am. Meeting point: Foz Do Banho restaurant, before Caldas De Monchique.
There are a few steep hills and a steep downhill section on uneven ground so bring poles if you have them. We should have some great views. This is a grade 3.5 walk. The usual rules apply, walk at your own risk, wear suitable footwear, bring a drink and no charge.

You can also join us for lunch after the walk for Chicken Piri Piri at the famous Café Imperio, approx 15 euros including wine and extras.

Directions: From Lagoa: drive West along the N125 to the Monchique turn off at Portimao. Drive up the

Hi see you in the am !

Linda reports :


Another enjoyable walk in the Algarve sunshine. Ten walkers and 2 dogs. John, Jim, Linda, Gill, Jenny, Anthony, Dawn, John, Mike and Russell (photographer). A nice clear day with views down to the sea and up towards Monchique. We walked just over 10kms in 2 hours and 20 minutes.
And a "lucky" seven had a very enjoyable lunch on the terrace at Cafe Imperio sampling the famous Chicken Piri Piri and maltezer desert. A very enjoyable time was had by all.

The last walk of the year so best wishes to everyone and look forward to meeting up again in January. Health and happiness to all. Linda and Russell "
