When Ramblers Worldwide Holidays takes you walking in Portugal you’ll understand why the Algarve is such a popular destination for walking holidays in Portugal. You’ll bask in the wonderfully warm climate and marvel at the stunning scenery as you wander through the countryside. Our walks open up the diverse landscape of relaxed and charming villages, the rugged mountainous interior, and the golden sunburnt coastline of beaches and rocky coves of Portugal. Walking tours guided by Ramblers Worldwide Holidays will uncover the true heart of this incredibly beautiful country. Discover the food, the culture and the sun drenched beaches of the Algarve Coast, or take a magical winter cruise to the Canaries & Madeira for a truly refreshing holiday.
