Thanks again for another excellent trip. Yet again the guides are the local knowledge and the key to all the knowledge. They went out of their way to show us places that you would never find on your own , explained local customs and took us to local restaurants.

Algarve Holidays
The southernmost region of Portugal, the beautiful Algarve, is known for whitewashed fishing villages, stretches of golden sand and turquoise-fringed bays. It is also blessed with a warm, sun-drenched climate nearly all year round. The rugged coastlines here stretch for more than 37mi (60km), from the Moorish old town of Faro in the west to the fishing village of Cacela Velha in the east − discover this enchanting area of Portugal for yourself on our Algarve cycling and walking holidays.
On our Walking Portugal’s Wild Algarve trip, discover hidden shores that have remained largely untouched by tourism. Beginning in the picture-perfect town of Monchique, this Algarve walking holiday takes you along quiet cliff trails towards idyllic beaches, authentic villages and sleepy fishing towns.
Another Algarve holiday that allows you to explore Europe’s most southwesterly point at Cabo de Sao Vicente is our Self-Guided Walking the Algarve’s South West trip. Take a tranquil walk through the Carrapateira and Sinceira valleys, walk among eucalyptus trees and citrus orchards to Vila do Bispo and end the adventure overlooking Sagres’ impressive fortress, for an Algarve walking holiday to remember.

Kath Walking Portugal's Wild AlgarveI highly recommend this holiday. Daily walks through beautiful and varied countryside in the hills and along the fishermen’s coastal path. Time to stop and admire the views and wild flowers in full bloom, watch the seabirds and
learn about the environmental challenges from our 2 wonderful guides Francisco and Rafael.
June Egglestone Walking Portugal's Wild AlgarveI really enjoyed this holiday, and would recommend it to others.
I would confirm (in my opinion) that this is a level 2 walking holiday, however I do need to caveat that with I missed the day 4 walk, which was apparently the hardest.
I liked the mixture of inland and coastal walks, as a whole week of just coastal walks may have been a bit “samey”.
I was quite rainy (off and on) for the week we went in March, sunglasses for 5 minutes, then hood up for 5 minutes, but this didn’t spoil the holiday at all (but bring waterproofs if coming early or late in the season).
Even though we stayed in 3 different places, this tour did not feel rushed.
