WALK - MONDAY 12 APRIL 2021- CISTUS VALLEY - CLOSED
Posted: Tue Mar 30, 2021 11:17 am
This is a new walk into a peaceful valley with lots of running streams, lakes, even a gorge and is awash with wild flowers at the moment. The walk is around 10kms and not too difficult but it is recommended to bring a pole to assist with the many water crossings. There are wobbly stepping stones. From the valley bottom we make a gentle climb up the gradual hill to the top of the ridge to enjoy views over the hills towards Monchique. We have a downhill stretch on uneven ground. Linda is leading this walk and numbers are limited to 2 x groups of 4. The usual rules apply: wear suitable footwear, bring a drink, no charge, walk at your own risk and respect social distancing rules.
We meet at Cafe Ruby in Figueira and then drive for 5 minutes to the start of the walk. Meeting time: 10.00am. The cafe may be open for a coffee at the start.
We will then drive past the restaurant Solar Do Farelo, and along the CM1145 for 500 metres for the start of the walk, parking is very limited there.
Co-ordinates to the start of the walk are N37.19786 W8.60613. If you use your satnav it take you a different route to the start, avoiding Figueira.
Directions to Cafe Ruby: Drive along the N125 West, past Alvor turning, about 2kms further on at the 2nd small roundabout with a sign for Figueira take the first right up the hill. The road bends round to the left and then you go straight across the small crossroads. Cafe Ruby is about 200 metres along on the right hand side. Parking is on the opposite side or just after the Cafe. Please indicate if you would like to join me. Contact on the day is 0044 796 0552618.
