Walk Monday 22 January 2024 : Porches to Albandeira : CLOSED

[Geoff]

Walk is now closed.

With lots of restaurants shut for holidays or building work, Willie has kindly volunteered to lead this one as we haven't done it for many years.

This is a superb walk of great variety, starting off through a hamlet, then crossing the dunes, then through a valley to the cliffs between Marinha and Albandeira Beaches then back through the valley. A camera is a must if you have not seen the cliffs! It is no more than a 1 on our scale but there is the occasional short sharp climb. As a bit of variation we may even do it in reverse!

Directions.The start point is the Cafe/Restaurant known as Casa de Pasto Paragem. Coming from CVO take the N125 heading east towards Faro. Go past the International School and the new roundabout for Benagil and pass the two BP garages. Just after this take the first right off the ‘Porches’ roundabout heading uphill for Porches & Armacao de Pera. There is another roundabout where you keep right for Armacao de Pera. Keep on this main road and after about 1/2 mile you will come to open ground on the right side then the Casa de Pasto Paragem. There is a lot of open ground for parking opposite. This is the start point.

Usual caveats apply, (especially you walk at your own risk)
Start : 10am start....but please be there by 0945 if you want a coffee and order lunch.
Degree of Difficulty ( scale 1:5 ) : 1, easy
Duration : 2 hours 10 mins, but depending on how long we admire the views.

Optional lunch at Casa Paragem , looks like 12€ , choice likely to be baccalau ( not sure what version) or mixed grill.

Numbers will be limited to 20.
