I HAVE BEEN HOLIDAYING IN THE Western Algarve for 40 years- attracted by the remoteness of its coastal walking and its pretty shoreline settlements.
In 2010 , Secret Hills Walking ran its first Algarve holiday and we continued until the Pandemic hit.
Now – having found another hotel as our base, we are off again.
The beaches are simply stunning, the rocky coast constantly changing its form, sometimes sand coloured . sometimes as black as black can be.
So here it is – a fabulous land – lots of sun, and excellent walking.
We run a seven nights holiday in the sun of the Western Algarve – led by local guides and supported by a UK tour guide- showing off the best of this magnificent coast.
Lagos- a bustling town famed for its local Portuguese restaurants. is an ideal base to explore the coast and mountains of this sun kissed land.
Walking is moderate, some ascending and descending – it has both a coast and the Monchique mountains after all, and you should be walking fit. We walk for five days.
You buy your own flights, and also evening dinner at a different restaurant each night- so the choice of diet is yours.
We pride ourselves on how we create a social feel- so join us on this sociable active holiday.
We organise everything for you – from the minute your flight lands to when you arrive back at the airport.
Join us on this sociable active holiday where we meet as strangers and depart as friends.
The sun kissed Algarve – you will not regret walking this ancient land.

And discover the delights of the western Algarve for yourself
