Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2011 12:24 pm
A walk by the sea!
Meet at Presa de Moura, Sesmarias, for a 1000 start. Will take about 2 hours. Quite gentle, though a couple of scrambles!
Please wear stout trainers/walking boots. Bring some water.A pole is useful! No charge, of course.
Directions:
From Carvoeiro , going towards Lagoa , pass Intermarche on the left hand side. At the roundabout before Lagoa, turn left. ( As you approach this roundabout from CVO, the signs indicate left to Sesmarias : as you exit the roundabout, the appropriate road is signed Feraguedo, but that´s Portugal for you!).
At the next roundabout ( about 200 yards) bear right, signed Feraguedo.
At the watertower in Sesmarias, follow the road to the right through the village, about 3/4 mile. At a sharp(ish) right hand bend, turn left by a big sign of Presa de Moura. This is where the Island Cafe also is. Parking is either by the Island Cafe , or further along in the Presa de Moura development.
Sounds difficult, but isn´t. If you pass the Colina de Lapa development on the right hand side, you have gone too far : back track at next roundabout.
Coming from Ferragudo, Presa de Moura is on the right hand side...... just past Colina de Lapa on the left.
Any problems ( or bad weather) ring 282 380015.
