About this Event

It is Autumn, it is cold and wet and it is sad in London, so what can I do about it your are going to ask?
Well I am going to take you on a sunny holiday in the South of Portugal! Not hot enough to swim in the sea sadly but good enough to hike without your jacket before you relax by the indoor pool of our 4 stars hotel!
Does this sound exciting to you?
Yes it does!
DAY ONE:
Meet me at Stansted airport at 7:30am. I am booked on the Ryanair Flight FR5785 on the Saturday 16th of November at 09:50am.
If you decide to take a later flight, you will have to make your own way to Albufeira and meet us directly at the hotel.
We will fly to Faro where I will have arranged an airport transfer to what will be our home for the next 4 days; Albufeira, the white town! What can I say about this beautiful coastal town? Well, it has become one of the most visited towns in Europe, thanks to its beauty, it is famous for hosting the most beautiful beach in Europe as well as one of the top three most scenic hikes on the continent, so I think it means everything.
Even better, it is winter, meaning, no hordes of tourists filling up the landscape and restaurants of this gorgeous place!
DAY TWO:
Our first full day will be where the magic happen!
We will get our hiking gears on and hike the famous Seven Hanging Valleys. Elected as one of the best hikes in Europe this scenic route runs from Praia da Marinha in the east to Praia de Vale Centeanes in the west.
It offers a string of notable stops at the Alfanzina lighthouse, and at the Benagil and Carvalho beaches The walk takes place along the top of coastal cliffs with sculpted shapes and beautiful ocher and yellow hues.
And of course, the famous Benagil caves.
DAY THREE:
In the morning we will take it easy, we will make our way to the marina for a boat trip at 10 am to see the local dolphins and Benagil caves, the trip takes around 2.5 hours. We will then have lunch then explore the coast and woods near Albufeira before we head for diner and some drinks for our last evening in Portugal.
DAY FOUR:
We need to leave by 12 for our plane so you will have the choice between some free time or a walk near Albufeira or if you prefer, we will leave early, drop our luggage at a left luggage and visit Faro, Capital of the Algarve and its famous nature reserve. To be decided as a group...
