A Walk on Salir do Porto Headlands (spo 21L)

Friday 08/05 10:00

A walk along the cliffs with fine views along the coast

A walk close to the cliffs with fine views along the coast and the bay of São Martinho do Porto. We pass by a chapel – rebuilt in 2020 , and a former customs house. The walk follows narrow paths (can be overgrown), wide tracks and stretches of loose sand. Some of the descents are steep so good shoes and walking poles are recommended. This walk combines elements of other walks.
