Got a few days to spare? Opt for a guided gallivant around the Algarve. 

 

A hiking holiday is ideal for ‘weekend wanderers’ on a 3 day weekend escape from work, or for a few more days. It’s easily adapted and amended to suit any schedules. We’ll be exploring rainbow coloured cliffs on the south coast, remote rambles in the Cabo de São Vicente national park on the west coast, the mountain of (and around) Monchique and rustic routes along the “Fisherman’s Trail” which extends from Sagres up to the north of Spain. 

 

The very fabric of the Algarve seeps with history: from the sinister slave trade to the old cannery factories lining the coast that hark back to hey-days of fishing. See how the coast line has changed as a result of natural disasters, and marvel at the array of flowers and fauna that line the trails. 

 

We’ve preselected the picnic spots and routes, so you can get into the fabric of the Algarve: treading her trails, feeling the slopes of the cliff climbs in your legs and feasting on her unmistakably fresh, gaspingly-good gastronomy with the sea breeze on your face.  

 

Each hiking holiday will include a variety of landscapes - but if you’d prefer a certain type of terrain, we can easily shape your break to fit that.
