said about this walk

Typical On Foot - beautiful walking route punctuated by fascinating places to stay, fuelled by good food and lubricated by good wine! May ‘09

 

"I love the way the hiking allows us to meet 'real' Portuguese people. The hike is well thought out to give an interesting view of an area most people would not get to." Sept '09

 

"A very well planned route in perfect walking country with exceptional, interesting accommodation". Aug '09

 

 "The countryside is charming with beautiful views". Sept '09
