Algarve beaches and coastal footpaths

The Algarve is justifiably famous for its coastline with long sandy beaches, numerous small rocky coves, majestic cliffs and intriguing rock formations. It is also rapidly becoming a popular destination for walkers. The demands of a thriving tourist industry has meant that some of these areas have been somewhat marred by insensitive architecture and development, however, away from the well known holiday spots are some of the most stunning coastal walks you could ever hope to discover.

Charming fishing villages, small cafes and restaurants serving delicious fish and grills, wonderful view points to stop and drink in the noise and colour of the seascape that surrounds you. Geologically, this area is amazing! Huge, majestic red cliffs, deep, thundering blowholes, exotic caves and rock formations, the exuberance of nature surrounds and revitalises you.

There are beautiful wild flowers, particularly in springtime when this area bursts into colour. You will discover orchids, narcissi, daisies and hyacinths. Grasses and fan palms add height and depth to the display. Often you are walking above where the sea gulls nest. Stop with them and watch the world below, enjoying the privacy and peace that the coastal footpath offers to those who follow its trail.

A days coastal walking is an invigorating and fascinating experience, an essential part of your walking holiday on the Algarve. The memories of the sounds, sights and smells will return home with you, refreshing and relaxing you for a long time to come.
