Walking holidays in the Algarve

Portugal has made a name for itself over the last few years as an excellent walking destination. The weather certainly helps, with mild winters allowing for hiking tours in Portugal most of the year. Enjoy breathtaking walks past the soaring cliffs and white sandy beaches of the Algarve. Explore the Douro valley on foot, the region that produces the world-famous Port wines and not forgetting of course Lisbon, the lively and cosmopolitan capital and Sintra, the last stretch of land that faces the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean. Active holidays in Portugal with Intura will provide many anecdotes to share and memories to look back on for years to come! Our mainland hiking tours in Portugal are created and then tried and tested by our colleagues based in our office in Tavira, in the south of Portugal.
