WALK - MONDAY - 4 NOVEMBER 2024 - CALDAS DE MONCHIQUE

Post by Linda and Russell »

Linda and Russell will be leading this walk which is around 10 kms approximately 2 1/2 hours. Start time: 10 am. Meeting point: Foz Do Banho restaurant, just before Caldas De Monchique
There are a few steep hills and a steep downhill section on uneven ground so bring poles if you have them. We should have some great views. This is a grade 4 walk (hard). The usual rules apply, walk at your own risk, wear suitable footwear, bring a drink and no charge.

The cafe is not open on Mondays but we can drive to Ourique after the walk for an al-fresco lunch.

Directions: From Lagoa: drive West along the N125 to the Monchique turn off at Portimao. Drive up the N266 towards Monchique for about 13kms until you see restaurant Foz Do Banho on the left side of the road, just before a roundabout. Park just below the restaurant.

Please indicate below if you will be joining the walk and if you are stayingfor lunch. Numbers limited to 20 walkers maximum. Contact number on the day is: 0044 796 0552618.

A hard walk today but very enjoyable. The rain held off and 8 of us enjoyed an al-fresco lunch at Ourique after. The forecasted rain came just as we drove home after lunch. Lucky us.
