Compacte, Engelstalige wandelgids met 33 dagwandelingen in de Algarve: met duur en lengte wandeling, versnaperingen onderweg, klein overzichtskaartje per wandeling.

This guidebook describes 33 walks in the beautiful Algarve in southern Portugal. Boasting good weather, easy access, stunning scenery and some great hiking trails, the region is a perfect destination for a walking holiday. It is best known for its spectacular coastline: the coastal trails presented here afford ample opportunity to admire the plunging sinkholes, striking sea-cliffs and rock-hugged beaches. However, the interior is every bit as beautiful and other walks explore the forested slopes of Monchique and the tranquil countryside between the mountains and coast. 

The routes range from 3.5 to 17km and cover the sun-kissed south coast, the rugged Vicentina Coast, the Monchique mountains and traditional villages of the eastern Algarve. Many can be accessed by public transport and details, along with tips on refreshment opportunities on route, are provided in the text. The route description is accompanied by clear mapping and notes on local points of interest. 

Showcasing the region’s varied landscapes, highlights include Cabo de São Vicente, Europe’s most southwesterly point; the Algarve’s highest peak, Fóia (902m); historical sites; dramatic cliffs, arches and sea-stacks; and idyllic beaches. With information on the Algarve’s history, plants and wildlife and advice on travel and potential bases, the guide is an ideal companion to exploring this captivating region.
