WALK - MONDAY 19 APRIL 2021 - CASINHAS ORANGE GROVES

Post by Dafmie »

As Linda and Russell have unfortunately had to cancel their walk on Monday, I am proposing this as an alternative;


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

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

Duration about 2 hours 15 mins



Walk Start Time: 10:00 am at Snack Bar Casinhas ( 37.194065 N, -8.402917 W)

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.

Usual caveats - all walks are at your own risk, bring a drink and wear suitable footwear. As per last week, we will walk in two groups of 6 people

David and Mieke will be leading this walk and the contact number of the day is: 00 33 624 624 792

He Geoff

Casinhas was open, but we did not have lunch there. Although the Algarve is opening up, there are still many restaurants that are staying closed until the tourists are back, which will not be before mid-May in any significant numbers. We are looking forward to seeing you back here..
