Ribeira de Quarteira

Also known as the Castle Bridge, the Paderne Medieval Bridge is a construction from the Middle Ages - despite its shape characteristic of Roman constructions. In 2002 there was an intervention to rehabilitate the bridge.

Albufeira Campsite

Highlight • Rest Area

Tent pitches are 45 euro! Would only let us put 2 people on a pitch! Instead, we got a glamping tent with 3 beds and air conditioning, for 85 euro! Glamping cheaper!

Crossing at Ribeira do Quarteira

Highlight • Trail

After weeks of heavy rain, the river was still too high in May to simply walk across. The makeshift bridge required some balance, but quickly got us to the other side dry.
