- 08 December / Portimão – Connecting the Railway Station of Via Grande Mexilhoeira to Via Algarviana (Monchique). This path has a length of 28km, so we chose to propose to you to walk half the tail, 14km from the Moinho da Rocha to Mexilhoeira Grande! This is one of the connections with greater diversity of landscape and where we still have the opportunity to visit small towns.

– 15 and 16 December / Alcoutim – Like last year, we are again partnering with the Clube Desportivo de Vaqueiros to organize a cultural weekend! We will have the opportunity to walk in the Walking Trail that, in Malfrades, will be audio guided, and follow one of the paths of Rota do Contrabandista- Smuggler’s Route! But Saturday will be filled with cultural attractions, local cuisine which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, confection of bread, pickled olives, dance, and a lot more!

November 18/ Lagos – we will repeat again the programme that we were force to cancel due to bad weather conditions. In the morning we will walk through the Mata do Barão de São João, and in the afternoon we will walk the path that connects the Via Algarviana (Bensafrim) to the train station in Lagos.
A wonderful opportunity to have a nice picnic in the woods of Barão de São João.

Unfortunately we inform you that due to recent events within the Algarve (severe fire), the municipalities  of S. Brás de Alportel and Tavira, the sectors that cross it  are seriously damaged. There may be signs burned and / or non-existent, and therefore we advise those who want to go through these sites to provide himself with maps and GPS track.

At this time we will also visit the areas and assess the damages so that we can gradually replace the signs and retouch paintings.

Sorry for the inconvenience and hope that fire will not appear  in other municipalities.
