Linda and Russell will be leading this walk. We head up through the pretty village of Figueira, through the Cork forest and out into the countryside via the orange groves. Then we loop back passing lots of grapevines, and ruined farmhouses. We pass some bee hives which shouldn’t be a problem. We head back via a cafe in the village where we can stop for refreshments before heading back to the cars via the river bank. The walk is around 8 kms, 2 hours and not too difficult. Please wear suitable footwear, bring a drink, no charge. We may have lunch at a restaurant near by after the walk.

Meeting time 10.00 am. Meeting point: Sociedade de Figuerense, Figueira. Directions: Drive west along the N125, pass the Alvor turning and Penina Golf. About 2kms further along go under a footbridge and immediately turn right at the sign: "Polidisportivo". Park just after the social club entrance. There is no cafe at the start of the walk.

9 of us enjoyed the perfect walking weather and beautiful countryside. Plus the early spring Iris flowers that were in abundance. The restaurant in the village was open and doing a prata da dia so 7 of us enjoyed a very sociable al-fresco lunch after the walk.
