Walk Monday 3 March 2025 : Casinhas. CLOSED

[Geoff]

Walk is now closed.


We last did this walk in 2017, though others have led here since. The restaurant has now reopened and has been done up and expanded. We haven't eaten there with the new people but they did make a good coffee and the menu looks good!

Track is fairly undulating, nothing (too!) steep, with minimal loose scree. The final descent is a bit steep. Lovely countryside, plenty of orange groves, nice views from the top.

It is ESSENTIAL that you indicate below if you can come , and whether you want lunch , as numbers will be limited to about 20. Thank you.

Degree of difficulty : 2 (Moderate) but 3 ( Energetic) for one hill climb of about 100m.

Duration about 2 hours 15 mins so I said back in 2017

Meet at Cafe Casinhas .

Coffee : Casinhas will be closed at start , but Cafe Anatol ( 0.5kms further up road) should be open

Start : 1000

Directions:
From CVO, drive to Silves and go over bridge, turn right.
At the roundabout, follow the N124 in direction of Messines.
After about 400m, almost opposite the Galp petrol station on your left, turn right on to " Turismo Rural".
Follow this for about 2.5 kms, when you will see the Cafe Casinhas on your right......they don't open till 1030 but will be open when we get back and do a good Prato de Dia for about 12.5 € for those feeling peckish!

Walking boots/stout trainers recommended and walking poles.

Usual caveats - all walks are at your own risk, and we do not walk if it is pouring with rain...no charge, of course...I will endeavour to put any cancellation note on this site by 0900 on the day of the walk.

Any questions , please ask.

Deja Vue - Paul and Maggi - I think we were on the 2017 trek and are delighted to return and ask for seconds . . .
It's been a long time - but the portents are very good for us to be there, even including lunch.
Looking forward to catching up -

Bit worrying...it was actually almost a decade ago, November 2015....

Sadly we don't arrive until the 26th, maybe be in touch mid week. 10 years! - hopefully not too decrepit to stagger round. Paul
