This is an almost new walk ( well , about 1 hour 15 mins is new , with another 1 hour up in the hills on tracks some might remember). I want to test it out, so it's a sort of a recce walk! total time about 2h 30 mins

The first part is flat along the lavada , the middle bit is flattish along the top, but there are a few quite steep hills to climb to get there !

The cafe is untried, but they seem to do a good looking grilled meat or fish prata de dia for 7.5€....lunch is optional.

Degree of Difficulty ( scale 1:5 ) : probably 3 Energetic

Start:10.00 am


Directions : drive from Carvoeiro to Silves, go over the bridge and turn right and follow the N124 for about 3.2 kms until you see Cafe Casa de Pasto a Norinho on your left : park in layby opposite.

A lovely day for walking , little fresh to start with, balmy and hot by finish. All seemed to think it's a good new walk, just on 2h 30m including a few stops to admire views/catch breaths.
My camera batteries have died so here is Ken's photo:
6 of us tried the Norinho, where we had bread/olives, half a frango or 3 pork steaks or a dorado, a choice of choc mousse/fresh fruit salad or rice...and a coffee...and a drink...we were a bit worried about " a drink" till we realised that was half a litre of wine each!
All for 7.5€, cooked on the open BBQ in front of us.

We'll be back, both for the walk and the lunch.
