Holiday information

 

Carrapateira & Atlantic Algarve

Rugged cliffs, golden sands, and a magnificent sea – just three of many reasons to add a stay in Carrapateira to your Inntravel walking holiday in Portugal’s western Algarve. Another is the excellent accommodation: a delightful rural hotel set a short distance from the Atlantic coast in an idyllic valley.
With its welcoming reception rooms, outdoor pool, and tennis court, Casa Fajara makes a perfect base to enjoy this lesser-known side to the Algarve. You reach it on foot, treading – as centuries of hikers have before you – the renowned path of the Rota Vicentina. You’ll soon hear the pounding of the waves as you descend from peaceful cork-tree woodland to the coast, with further walking opportunities from Carrapateira leading you to the epic beach at Bordeira – vast, beautiful, and often deserted – and along the dramatic clifftops where spring wildflowers flourish and fishermen still chase their catch with traditional rod and line.

Itinerary

  • Sagres to Carrapateira: 12km, 4hrs; ascent 215m/descent 255m
    Today begins with an included transfer to the once-abandoned hamlet of Pedralva. From here, you follow a fertile valley before ascending over wooded hills, festooned with acacia blossom during winter and wildflowers in spring. After a slow descent to the spectacular surfing beach of Praia do Amado, and a drink at one of the beach cafes, perhaps, you follow a section of the Rota Vicentina past a number of fine viewpoints. Crossing sand dunes, you reach Carrapateira and Casa Fajara, where you spend your last three nights.

  • Choice of walks from Carrapateira: 12km to 15km

    Circular walk from Carrapateira via Bordeira: 15km, 5.5hrs; ascent/descent 280m
    This circuit heads north, exploring the lagoon and tranquil wetlands around Bordeira, where the crowning glory is an often-deserted stretch of golden sand, backed by dunes and framed by distant headlands. A slightly shorter version of the route (13km) avoids a steep climb.

    Circular walk via Carrapateira promontory: 12km, 4.5hrs; ascent/descent 165m
    Paths lead around the Carrapateira promontory, again offering scintillating views of this rugged, fragile and colourful coastline. In spring, the dunes are a botanist's delight, carpeted in colourful and often unusual flowers and plants; while the rugged shore is home to a hardy breed of fishermen, particularly in the early morning, who defy the crashing waves by perching on rocks with rod and line, waiting for sea bream.
