Discover walking holidays in the Algarve with Involved Holidays

Discover the real beauty of walking holidays in the Algarve on our escorted walks, through glorious countryside decked with floura and fauna. In recent years the Algarve has become increasingly popular with walkers who realise that much of the Portuguese countryside and coastline remain unspoilt. Your local walking guide will show you the very best of the region while allowing you time to appreciate all that you see.

Your resort, Armação de Pêra, boasts one of the most beautiful beaches in the whole of the Algarve, pretty coves, a panorama of brightly coloured fishing boats, and a range of high-quality restaurants that serve fresh local fish dishes. In between walking days, recharge and relax by the pool or explore the local area further by taking our optional excursion to Sao Brás. So why not pack your walking boots and enjoy the best that the Algarve has to offer?

Itinerary

1
Day One – Arrival Day

Flight to Faro, on arrival you will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel in Armação de Pêra, the Vila Gale Nautico, just 45 minutes away from the airport. Here you will stay for seven nights, half board accommodation.

2
Day Two – Walk 1

5 MILES – 100M ASCENT Luz to Ponta da Piedade. The starting point of this walk is the fishing village of Luz (50 minutes away). You will walk uphill on small footpaths and then continue along the picturesque coastline. You may see wild orchids on your way, together with Affodile and Mastric bushes. There is also a marvellous view across to the Ponta da Piedade, an impressive rock formation in the sea, where you will meet your coach for the short transfer to Lagos. The town is closely associated with Henry the Navigator and was the starting port of many Portuguese voyages of discovery in the 15th and 16th century. You will have time to explore Lagos before returning to the hotel.

Day Three – Free day in resort

Free day in resort.

4
Day Four – Walk 2

5 MILES Ilha do Rosario. A 25-minute transfer to the start of your walk. Bound by two rivers and a haven of peace and solitude, Rosário might as well be an island — as its name ‘Ilha’ suggests. This delightful walk follows a watercourse (levada) around the hillside, trapped between cliffs and the river. You will then complete the circuit of the walk via quiet country lanes. One of the pleasures of this walk is the ease by which you escape to landscapes quite unlike any others in the Algarve. Following this we will head to the pleasant village of Silves for lunch and sightseeing.

5
Day Five – Free day in resort

Free day in resort or you can join an optional excursion to Sao Brás, with the chance to do some walking.

6
Day Six – Walk 3

5.5m MILES – 150M ASCENT Praia de Marinha to Carvoeiro.  A short coach transfer to Praia de Marinha. You will follow narrow paths in an area where the cliffs are made up of different colours of rock – here there are excellent photo opportunities with impressive blowholes, passing the Alfanzina lighthouse before continuing to the picturesque town of Carvoeiro in time for lunch. You will return to the hotel by mini bus.
