As ruas, as vistas e a baía de São Martinho do Porto (smp11S)

The streets, the views and the bay of Sao Martinho do Porto

The circular walk is a mixture of quiet roads, tracks and boardwalk. We leave the start point and follow roads through the old town to the Gralha beach north of SMdP. From there we follow a track before before following more quietish roads to the SMdP miradouro (viewpoint). Then, we follow a road down towards the bay but branch off along an open, rocky path to the bay headland. To get to the bay itself, we descend some steepish, uneven steps which require a good degree of care, especially after wet weather. Finally, we head around the bay along more tracks and the board walk before returning to the coffee stops in the bay. Although the full walk is 9km, its very easy to finish walking after approximately 6km for those who wish to do so. Also, if there is/has been wet weather, it will be necessary to remain on the road rather than take the “rocky path to the bay headland”. Although dogs are welcome to accompany us, it is recommended that, due to the amount of roadwork on the walk, that they are kept on a lead.
