Tour Description

Beyond the package holidays and packed beaches, tucked away from tourist traps and frenetic resort towns, the Baixo Guadiana is Algarve’s best-kept secret.

This is really where the old Portuguese way of life is being retained.

The common denominator here, for locals and tourists, is to slow down and appreciate the good life.

It also helps that we have the best walking weather in Portugal, especially in Autumn, Spring and Winter!

 This is the authentic Algarve of saltpans and migrating birds, of small towns and villages, of characterful fishing ports, of sunny unspoiled beaches and dunes and fragrant orchards and forests. They all share something very unique: the magnificent and wild Guadiana river frontier with Spain.

This hidden region has allowed us to design a perfect 8 day route for you to explore the culture, gastronomy and natural unspoiled beauty at a relaxed pace.

Walking along wide hiking trails lined by orange, fig, olive and carob trees and passing through pretty villages and historic towns, with plenty of time to explore, eat, drink and relax.

Water is the common element here – our trails are never far from the sea, a lake, a stream or the river.

Stay at small, comfortable and charming hotels that are owned by local families that will welcome you with open arms. Try the local cafés and restaurants on our recommended list for delicious seafood and meat dishes, don´t forget the unique cakes and desserts that are inspired by the local fruit.

The taste and quality are amazing because everything is cooked fresh and sourced at the local farms that use traditional and organic farming techniques.
