Via Algarviana, a 240km pedestrian walkway spanning nine councils across the Algarve’s rural interior between Alcoutim and Cabo de São Vicente, is due to be officially inaugurated on May 29.
João Ministro, a spokesman from Almargem, the local environmental association that spearheaded the project, told the Algarve Resident: “We are inviting many people to the inauguration party, which will be held in Barranco do Velho in the Serra do Caldeirão.
“These include the presidents of the Câmaras that have been involved in the project, the president of the regional development commission CCDR, Portugal’s minister of the environment and many friends and partners.”
During the event, an official bi-lingual guide to the Via Algarviana will also be launched.
“This 100-page guide will be a comprehensive tool for walkers who will be travelling along the Via Algarviana and will include lots of information such as a detailed map of each section of the walkway as well as details of accommodation and places to eat along the way,” said João Ministro.
This guide will be distributed free in tourist information offices across the region as well as in Câmaras, parish council offices and in the establishments mentioned in the publication.
