Our personal experience of the route:-
We
love this walk and often do parts of it as part of our daily exercise. Due
to erosion, the actual start is further around through Monte
Carvoeiro.
The
walk takes you past the amazing Praia de Vale de Lapa, that's the
biggest climb, also you past the Torre de Lapa, Praia Caneiros, the
lighthouse and then to Praia de Molhe (official end), which is worth a
walk along. You can then follow the path to the west, past the
café/restaurant at the top, and then walk Praia Grande Ferragudo; with low tide, you can go around the Castelo and wa Ferragudo. Here, you
can taxi/Bolt back to Carvoeiro.
It is another stunning walk with many flowers, animals, and great views from which to snap photos. We recommend the trail to clients staying in one of our Carvoeiro villas.
