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 on short leash at all times. Normally we start at 10:00. Of course you can do the walks on your own as well. Just download the gpx file.

Next short walk:

  • Percurso do Carvalhal (obi11S)

    Percurso do Carvalhal – largely follows PR2BBR

    The circular 7 km walk starts at the sanctuary of Senhor Jesus of Carvalhal and will take us on sandy tracks and quiet roads through orchards of pear, apple and apricot trees as well as vineyards. There will be a short incline before reaching the villages of Barro Lobo and later Carvalhal before returning to the Parque de Merendas and our start point. The route largely follows the Alltrails route PB2BBR. Dogs are to be kept on a short leash at all times. You are personally responsible in case of an accident.
