Timeless Trails of Portugal's Al Overview

The perfect blend of walks, relaxation, delicious food and outstanding accommodation on this holiday in the heart of Portugal’s Algarve

This one week walking holiday on the south west coast of Portugal offers the perfect relaxing retreat for those looking to get away from the busy bustle of everyday life and be enchanted by the remote and wild Atlantic coastal trails and the ‘Inner’ Algarve’s rolling hills and white painted villages. Centre-based at a charming lodge just 10km from the very tip of Portugal, over the course of the week we will enjoy five handpicked walks, each designed to showcase the wild splendour of this region; the dramatic cliffs, sand dunes, hidden coves and sweeping golden beaches of the south-west coast and the contrasting interior, offering a lush green tapestry of farmland, cow meadows and forests of chestnut, eucalyptus and cork. The Algarve is blessed with an exceptional climate, boasting over 300 days of sunshine a year, but we think it is just perfect for walking in the spring and early summer, when wild rock roses and almond blossom decorate the hill sides, and in the glow of the autumn, when delicious fresh figs and almonds can be plucked straight from the trees. We’ve also included a free day to enjoy a cultural visit to nearby Lagos or take part in another optional activity such as kayaking, or a beginner’s surf lesson. A unique holiday highlight will be our delightful accommodation where we will be made to feel very welcome by our friendly hosts, Jon and Vio. Nestled amongst 150 acres of farmland close to the village of Aldeia Da Pedralva in the Cape St Vincent National Park, the lodge is a beautiful, tranquil place. Evenings will be sociable as we gather around the dining table for a feast of home cooked Portuguese cuisine, often created from ingredients grown in the lodge’s garden, or sit around the fire pit under the stars telling stories and chatting over a glass of local wine. Those seeking a little peace and solitude can retire to the lounge to curl up by the corner fireplace and read a book; there is something here for everyone. You will be incredibly well taken care of, fed and watered in the evenings. It’s a winning formula and we guarantee you won’t want to leave!
