TRAILS
There are hundreds of excellent walking trails (percursos pedestres) all over the Algarve. They always take you to the best sights of any given area such as local chapels, water wells, springs, sceneic overlooks and ancient paths between rock walls. Below are 8 walking/cycling trails for the Central Algarve representing the Concelhos of São Brás de Alportel and Loulé. These are the closest marked trails to Sunshine Motorhome Park. We have even created and marked yellow shortcuts to two of them to provide our guests easier access. We hope you take the time to see some of the beautiful scenery and culture these trails provide.

Vale de Alportel Trail System
In the valley of Alportel is a vast system of three interconnected trails letting you choose your own preferences for the day. All trails start in front of the church and the first mark is around the corner at a tunnel under the road. These trails represent the tracks of the Muleteers who went about harvesting cork. And one of the first things you will see are the magnificent old-growth cork forests. Possibly the finest in the Algarve. The three trails are the Alcaria Track, 6.5km (yellow); the Varzea da Cova Track, 7.2km (orange); and the Ribeira de Alportel Track, 14.5km (blue). You can read an official description of the trail here and here.
