Steep Descent at Cacela Velha

Highlight • Trail

I always call it "the hole of Cacela Velha" - steep down, steeper up again. Don't be too ambitious with the swing: oncoming traffic is possible and sometimes late.

View of the Ria Formosa lagoon

Highlight • Viewpoint

A small round through the village with a magnificent view of the mudflats.
This place is probably included in every bus tour of the regional organizers, i.e. other groups are also staying there 🤣
