Portugal is criss-crossed by numerous hiking trails and pilgrimage routes. Away from the holiday resorts of the Algarve, explore the mountains and the spectacular Atlantic coast. You can walk along the coast following the Portuguese Way from Porto to Santiago, or, for wonderful hiking conditions between September and April, Madeira and the Azores can provide more exotic scenery with a myriad of routes. <\/p>

The Algarve enjoys a mild climate, beautiful scenery and easy access for transport. It is best known for its spectacular coastline: sinkholes, dramatic cliffs and rocky beaches. However, the interior is just as beautiful and other walks explore the wooded slopes of Monchique and the tranquil scenery between the mountains and the coast. The region's scenery includes Cabo de S\u00e3o Vicente, the most south-westerly point in Europe; the Algarve's highest peak, F\u00f3ia (902m); historic sites; spectacular cliffs, arches and promenades; and idyllic beaches.<\/p>

On the Portuguese island of Madeira and Porto Santo, you can explore the spectacular coastline of cliffs, picturesque levadas (irrigation channels), dense laurel forests and high mountain peaks.<\/p>

Portugal is an undiscovered gem for hikers. A multitude of trails boast fantastic scenery and are rich in natural, historical and cultural interest. They include granite peaks, wildflower meadows, forests, waterfalls, castles, churches and archaeological remains. And thanks to its variety of microclimates, it is possible to find suitable conditions for hiking in all seasons.<\/p>
