WALK - MONDAY 23 NOVEMBER - SILVES WINDMILL - CLOSED
WALK - MONDAY 23 NOVEMBER - SILVES WINDMILL - CLOSED
As we didn't manage to do this classic CVO walk in October, here is another chance to do it.
It's flat along the lavada to start, has 5 minutes of back road and then is all on country tracks, many of them uphill but with quite a climb up to the windmill, but after that the paths are good and there is a gentle descent, along with some lovely views. There is a river that has to be crossed but there are usually plenty of stepping stones.
Duration : probably 2.5 hours
Degree of Difficulty ( scale 1:5 ) : the steep climb to the windmill makes it a grade 3.
Start: 10:00.....but please arrive by 09:45 if you want a coffee!
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 Norinha on your left. Park in layby opposite.
GPS : 37°12'20.6"N, 8°24'38.0"W
37.2057131N 8.4116553,312W
It is ESSENTIAL that you indicate below if you can come.
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.
I will endeavour to put any cancellation note on this site by 08:30 on the day of the walk.
My phone number is +33 624 624 792
