Walk 17 November 2025 ; Casinhas. CLOSED

[Geoff]

Walk is now closed.

Since we did this walk in 2017, the restaurant has now reopened and has been done up and expanded. We walked and eat there earlier this year and is recommended.

Track is fairly undulating, nothing too steep, perhaps apart from an early climb, with minimal loose scree. Linda & Russell have shown us an easier way back avoiding a steep descent. 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 .

Meet at Cafe Casinhas ....Maria says she hopes to open for us from 0930.

Start : 1000....but please be there by 0945 if you want a coffee and order lunch.

Lunch Optional....think it's 12.5€ for usual prata de dia....with tip etc, expect to pay 14€ or 15€.

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.

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 0830 on the day of the walk.

Any questions , please ask.
