Walks around Carvoeiro

[marlon]

Hi, virgin poster here.

Does anyone have any details, or a reference to a good book, on walks around CV or the surrounding area?

I would also be interested on the same info for walks anywhere in the Algarve, especially the Monchique Hills.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am keen to stretch my legs during a visit later this year.

Thanks very much for the link, there are some serious walks listed there !

We'll definitely try some, especially those around Silves, but for less energetic days can anyone supply a link or some info on shorter walks (5 or 6 km) closer to Carvoeiro please?

All of the cliffs around Carvoeiro can be walked albeit it's a bit rocky at times.
Try the walk from Carvoeiro through to Ferragudo (via caneiros beach) I think it's about 90 mins and stunning.

I have an excellent book called Algarve Rother Walking Guide (The Finest valley and mountain walks) by Ulrich Enzel. ISBN 3-7633-4825-5. www.rother.de (It's translated into English).

It has 51 walks, small maps, photos, text including starting points, distance, time, refreshments etc It covers coastal walks and inland.

I think I got it from www.maps.com who also do some really good maps with a scale 1:25 000 (I have one which shows the villa).

With ref to my earlier post, I forgot to say it has 4 walks in the CVO area (in the broadest sense).

Ferragudo to CVO, CVO to Algar Seco to Pr Centianes to CVO, CVO to Benagil and Benagil to Armacao de Pera
