Can't do a full month? March in Ferragudo offers everything you love about wintering in the Algarve, in a two-week format. River views, great facilities, guided hikes and cultural visits. The train is 10 minutes on foot, so you can explore the whole Algarve on your free days.

March is when the Algarve starts to bloom. Wildflowers on the clifftops, warm afternoons and the quietest trails of the season.

BOOK YOUR SPOT

Your winter program in the Algarve

Embark on unforgettable hikes through breathtaking landscapes and stunning scenery. Our intermediate-level trails typically cover around 12 kilometers, with shorter and longer options available to suit every pace. Expect an average of 200 meters of climbing, so a basic level of fitness is recommended. Some paths are gentle and easy-going, while others offer a bit more of a challenge with longer stretches or trickier terrain, like soft sand or loose rocks. But don't worry, we leave no man behind!

→ The river path from the hotel is one of Kiki's favourite morning walks.

→ We will offer a cut-off or shorter version of the hikes if possible. We're happy to try our best to make sure everyone can join.

In two weeks, we fit in 3 guided hikes per week, 1 cultural visit per week, a briefing and intro hike on arrival day, and a farewell lunch on your last Saturday. Welcome drinks and the weekly Friday after-hike drinks are included throughout.
