One reason why I love Algarve so much is because it combines two things I truly enjoy: amazing, natural beaches and stunning landscape with amazing walking trails and hikes, like the Amoreira Beach circuit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spent more than 3 months at Algarve now and discovered several walking trails and easy hikes for example in Aljezur, Lagos, Carvoeiro and many more. Today I want to show you my favorite walking trail of Algarve by far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best walking trail (for me personally) at Algarve is at the Armoreira Beach circuit in Aljezur on the west coast. Because the hike is very diverse and passes several different kinds of landscape, first along a river, then along the beach, then on top of the cliffs with so many stunning views and in the end it goes through the backland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also wrote a blog post with more walking trails in Algarve, mainly in the Lagos area: find it here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description of the best hike of Algarve in Aljezur<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The walking trail I will describe in detail in this blog post is route 16 of the Rota Vicentina Trails on the West Coast of Algarve, the Praia da Amoreira beach circuit.  In total there are 24 walking Trails of Rota Vicentina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official route starts next to Praia da Amoreira and just goes along the cliffs and through the backland. I changed the route a little bit because there is a very beautiful part in Aljezur that make the walk even more pretty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So instead of starting in the backland I started the walk at the river Riveira de Aljezur, which just means \u201eriver of Aljezur\u201c. You can park you car hear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
