Away from the busy beaches, the Algarve has a countryside full of interest and beauty, quietly awaiting discovery. From flowers and fountains, hilltops and history, to windmills and water-mills, this book will set your feet wandering to find them all. There are car tours, too, to get you out and about, searching out little-known points of interest-like the huge rose compass (rosa dos ventos) on the barren promontory of Sagres, where Prince Henry the Navigator founded his school of navigation, or the Moorish castle and old Roman bridge at Paderne. But don't think for one moment that we have turned our backs on and ignored the beautiful and rugged western coastline. Wherever it is still unspoilt and free from development, the authors have incorporated it into a walk.

The best months for walking are March to May or September and October, but regular visitors enjoy walks throughout the winter as well.

4 car tours, 68 long and short walks, 20 picnic suggestions Plan of Faro, fold-out touring map.
