The Island of Madeira is 310 miles from the African coastline and 620 miles from the European Continent. It is very famous for its natural environment where the most important feature is the Laurissilva Forest , a relic of the Tertiary Age and has been classified by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage Site. It is also known for its year round climate where it does not drop below 17C which means Madeira is an ideal year round hiking holiday destination. It has great traditions and customs , old buildings , museums and great wine also. You can extend your walking tour by taking extra nights for relaxation in the wonderful capital Funchal.
Alentejo 7 Night independent walking tour Level 1-2
The Alentejo is one of the few undiscovered parts of Europe. It is a picturesque and tranquil region bound by the Algarve coast to the south, and by the Atlantic to the west. Largely agricultural, it is renowned for its traditional cork plantations scrub oak, olive groves, vineyards, and beautiful whitewashed hill towns. It also has an extensive coastline of untouched sandy beaches.
The province covers almost a third of the country and has a very low population density. It has an either flat or rolling landscape ideal for easy and moderate walking. Parts of the coast have always been extremely popular with Portuguese city dwellers in July and August, but it is only recently that a few adventurous northern Europeans have found their way down here
