Walk 18 November 2025 : Ourique/Barragem
Posted: Mon Nov 11, 2024 7:07 pm
Hi all
Linda & Russell have kindly agreed to lead this walk , to some Barragems, rather than the more hilly walk I am familiar with. Not sure of time, somewhere between 2 and 2.5 hours I expect.
Degree of Difficulty : It is probably a grade 2.5.
Start : 10.00, but please be there by 0945 if you want a coffee/order lunch....hopefully open by then.
Meeting Point: Restaurant Ourique,.
Directions: Drive to Lagoa and turn left on the N125. Drive to the the Portimao/Monchique exit and follow the N124 directions Monchique/Silves. At the roundabouts keep right and follow the signs for Silves. The restaurant is on the right side of the road on a sharp bend before Odelouca. Please park just before the restaurant.
Alternatively, as there are still roadworks on the N125 bridge, drive to Silves, over the bridge , turn left and drive on N124 for 10km, when restaurant will be on your left.
Lunch . The restaurant does a set meal but there are limited choices and if you want the a la carte, it will cost more. Hopefully, it will be sunny enough to eat outside. Prices are up a bit, expect to pay about 17/18€ pp.
Usual caveats - all walks are at your own risk, and we do not walk if it is pouring with rain ( v unlikely!).....I will endeavour to put any cancellation note on this site by 0800 on the day of the walk. Numbers are limited to 20, please sign up & indicate if you will want lunch.
Any questions , please ask or email geoffrey.j.hill@btopenworld.com
