WALK - MONDAY 12 MAY 2025 - LAGOA COUNTRYSIDE

[Linda and Russell]

Linda and Russell will be leading this walk. The walk starts from Restaurant Barca Velha, opposite the Fatacil in Lagoa. It is 11kms, therefore 2 1/2hours, although it is long there are not many hills, so it is a grade 3 due to the length. We head out of Lagoa along dirt tracks and out into the countryside. We pass deserted farm houses and eventually out into open countryside. We have to cross the N125 and go under the A22 but we also walk pass lots of orange groves and enjoy views of the open countryside. We then walk along a long stretch of levada and head back to Lagoa. The usual rules apply: wear suitable footwear and clothing, bring a drink. There is no charge and you walk at your own risk. The Restaurant is not open for the start of the walk. We may have lunch at the Fatacil restaurant after the walk. They do a set menu for about 12 euros.

Meeting time: 10:00am Directions: At Lagoa join the N125 and head East, at the roundabout( fish in a net) as you leave Lagoa take the right turn. The Restaurant Barca Velha is on the left in a row of shops and the Fatacil is on the right hand side. There are parking spaces nearby. Address: R. do Parque Empresarial do Algarve Loja 9, 8400-431 Lagoa. Our contact on the day is: 0044 796 0552618. Please indicate below if you are joining us for the walk as numbers will be limited to 20 people.

We had 16 walkers and 3 dogs, one dog was borrowed from puppyland.
The walk was longer than expected today and took just over 3 hours and the weather was warmer so lots of pink faces when we finished. The lavada was very overgrown and we missed the first part of it so ended up doing an extra loop. Will have to find time to recci beforehand next time.
Ten of us stayed for a well deserved and very enjoyable lunch at the Fatacil. Philip our waiter was very attentive.
