Walking in the Algarve, a long journey
The Algarve's hiking festivals are the result of a long journey, travelled over the last few decades, with different protagonists, to reveal a different Algarve and draw attention to its natural and cultural wealth. They have also opened up a path to building a more cohesive, sustainable, harmonious and economically competitive region.
