Linear walk through the heart of sector 12 of the GR13 - Via Algarviana, between Pincho and Bensafrim. Along the way, we will pass through landscapes typical of the Algarve barrocal — forests of cork and holm oak trees, olive groves, almond trees and vineyards — dotted with aromatic bushes of rosemary, thyme, rockrose and lavender. At some points, we have panoramic views that embrace gently rolling hills and tranquil valleys.
If luck is on our side, we may come across small seasonal streams or lines of water where riparian vegetation — such as willows, ash trees or brambles — grows. This trail celebrates intimate contact with nature, where silence, Mediterranean aromas and the harmony of the landscape invite us to observe, breathe and perceive every detail.

NOTE: Bring comfortable clothes and shoes for walking, backpack with water and snacks. The use of walking poles is recommended.
