WALK - MONDAY 15 APRIL 2024 - CALDAS DE MONCHIQUE

Post by Linda and Russell »

Linda will be leading this walk which is around 10 kms approximately 2 1/2 hours. Start time: 10 am. Meeting point: Foz Do Banho restaurant, just 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 4 walk (hard). The usual rules apply, walk at your own risk, wear suitable footwear, bring a drink and no charge.

The cafe is not open on Mondays but we can drive to Ourique after the walk for an al-fresco lunch.

Directions: From Lagoa: drive West along the N125 to the Monchique turn off at Portimao. Drive up the N266 towards Monchique for about 13kms until you see restaurant Foz Do Banho on the left side of the road, just before a roundabout. Park just below the restaurant.

Please indicate below if you will be joining the walk and if you are stayingfor lunch. Numbers limited to 20 walkers maximum. Contact number on the day is: 0044 796 0552618.

Only 11 walkers this week and 6 dogs so a nice little group.

A hard walk in the heat but well worth the effort. Fantastic scenery, blue skies, abundant wild flowers, a bit of a breeze and some shady parts. It took us 2 3/4 hours to do the 10kms as we had to keep resting in the shade with the dogs.
