March 29, 2025, Wanderweg Marmelete (PR6 MCQ)

Surprise: a hike through eucalyptus forest and, in part, cork oak forest. Recommended, even if there aren't any outstanding viewpoints. The elevation gain can be strenuous, depending on the heat. I was lucky, it was only 23 degrees Celsius at the end of March.

Very nice hike by hiking through cork oak and eucalyptus forest in the hinterland of the Algarve coast, but a bit difficult in two places!
