Walk Monday 7 February 2022 : Orique. CLOSED

Post by Geoff »

Walk is now closed.

I know we did this in November, but the Orique is a lovely cafe, especially if the sun shines and we can eat outside.

Please note though the the prata de dia choices are now restricted, and dishes on the a la carte are pricier.

It is only 8kms, but took 2h 15m. There are lots of ups and downs but nothing on all fours and all on good tracks. We will be able to see the municipal tip in the distance but this can be a bonus as there are usually lots of birds so bring binoculars if you have them. Further along we pass by orange groves and enjoy some good views up to Alferce.

Degree of Difficulty : It is a grade 3.5 due to the number of ups and downs.

Meeting Time: Meeting Point: Restaurant Ourique. Start at 10.00. They are open now from 0930 for coffee...and for ordering lunch if required.

Directions: Drive to Lagoa and turn left on the N125. Drive to the the Portimao/Monchique exit and follow the N124 directions Monchique/Silves. At the roundabouts keep right and follow the signs for Silves. The restaurant is on the right side of the road on a sharp bend before Odelouca. Please park just before the restaurant.
Alternatively, drive to Silves, over the bridge , turn left and drive on N124 for 10km, when restaurant will be on your left.

Lunch . The restaurant does a set meal but, as above, there are limited choices and if you want the a la carte, it will cost more. Hopefully, it will be sunny enough to eat outside....if not, there's a nice room with fire inside.

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 0830 on the day of the walk. Numbers are limited to 20, please sign up & indicate if you will want lunch.

Any questions , please ask or ring 282 380015 preferably between 1800-1900 or before 0900.
