Alluring Algarve
Explore the unspoiled south-western coast of the Algarve on this independent walking holiday. Much of the route is in the Cape St. Vincent Natural Park, where the famous Algarve coastline remains authentic and undeveloped. There's unique flora and fauna, offering travellers a unique combination of sights and scents.
Soaring cliffs, sea caves, golden beaches, scalloped bays and sandy islands draw visitors to the Algarve each year. Spend one week on this self-guided walking holiday and you will understand the allure.
The Algarve is the beautiful southern coastline of Portugal. It is a region blessed with stunning beaches, picturesque fishing towns and a glorious climate; all combine to create the perfect holiday destination. A highlight of walking in the Algarve is taking in the Natural Park Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina, a route that's on the Atlantic coast on the GR-11 Rota Vicentina.
On this trip you will explore idyllic landscapes with beaches, dunes and steep cliffs along the route. This tour takes you to the relatively little-known west coast, known for its delicious seafood, excellent wines and the relaxed Portuguese lifestyle.
You will end your adventure in Europe's southwestern-most point, a barren headland that was the last piece of home that Portuguese sailors once saw as they launched into the unknown. It's a spectacular spot: At sunset you can practically hear the sun hissing as it meets the sea.
