Each week up to two walks are organised in the Silver Coast region of Portugal
Every Wednesday we hold a short walk (max 7 km) and on alternate Fridays we hold a long walk (10 to 20 km).
Everyone is welcome to join a walk, you can do a voluntary donation to cover costs of organisation.
People walk at their own risk. Dogs are welcome, but must be kept under control. Normally we start at 10:00.
Of course you can do the walks on your own as well. Just download the gpx file.
