Dear walker,

The Algarve is famous for its beautiful beaches and many splendid golf coarses. Towns like Faro and Albufeira, Portimao and Lagos all have a good name and attrackt many tourists each year. But many people want to do more then sunbading on the beach, enjoying the sea & swimming pools and playing golf on the coarse..... many individuals, couples and groups like to go.... WALKING.

Walking is healthy, fun and informative and even more if you're doing it with a friends, relatives or just acquintances. Many times the talks while travelling on foot are most inspiring and surprising. You found this website and want to find some free walking routes. Not just a stroll along the boulevard or the beach. No, a real trail through nature. Well, you came to the right place. It doesn´t matter if you are walking because your body needs the exercise, or because you like to spot the birds and wildlife, or you want to enjoy the wonderful views over the water, or perhaps you feel better in the clean air between the trees....

Whatever your reason is, here you will find walks that you can download, print out and take with you. But even easier; you can also take the walking routes at no cost at the location itself (see details). Even BETTER; all walks are being monitored constantly and if necessary adjusted. This works very simple. If someone makes a walk and finds anything not completely clear or incorrect, he or she tells it at return and 1 day later the alterations are made. This way you know that every walk is always up to date and applies to the actual current situation of nature & paths. This makes wandering at lot safer and secure.
