WALK - MONDAY 25 APRIL 2023 - CISTUS VALLEY

Post by Linda and Russell »

Linda will be leading this walk. It is in a nice quiet hidden valley with just one gradual uphill section, the rest mostly flat or downhill. There are some easy water crossings, so plenty of water for the dogs, nice scenery, lots of baragems and cistus flowers. It is a longer walk at just over 11kms. We meet in Figueira then drive 3kms to the start of the walk where parking is limited so we need to car share. The usual rules apply: wear good footwear, bring a drink, a pole if you use one and walk at your own risk and no charge.

MEETING TIME 9.15AM. Meeting point: Snack bar Manu also called Pescadora, Figueira.

Directions: Go along N125 past Alvor and Penina Golf. After 2kms at the 2nd roundabout take the right turn up into Figueira. Follow the road round to the left, go straight through the small crossroads. The cafe is about 200metres on the right. Park in the car park just before the cafe "sports bar parking". The cafe do a set menu for 10euros if anyone wants to stay for lunch after but I will not be organising this.

Numbers limited to 20 walkers. Please indicate below if you are joining the walk. Contact on the day is: 0044 796 0552618.

Sorry i won’t be able to make it again Linda. I’m going walking and bird watching in Spain for a few days with a visitor from the UK. Hope to be on the next walk.

Best wishes,

Mike

A very enjoyable walk today
  • amongst all the beautiful coloured flowers. We walked around small baragems and watched the dogs cool off in the many water crossings. The eight walkers and 3 dogs completed the 11.25 km walk in 2 3/4 hours.
