Lower Alentejo - The Wild West

	Totally unspoilt coastline
	The Cape St. Vincent Natural Park
	Beautiful walks
	High quality accommodation - quiet & secluded

Walking tours in Portugal, Madeira and Azores

This walking holiday is different. Because all of the west coast lies within the Natural Park which has strict controls on building the area does not lend itself for walking from quality hotel to hotel. We have found wonderful accommodation and provide you with a car plus walking notes. You have the freedom to choose when and where you walk.
