Castelejo environmental trail


We found a new trail in our Algarve walks book, just between Vila do Bispo and the coast. It is only a short walk but well signed and very interesting with lots of unusual flora and fauna. We are looking forward to revisiting it into the Spring to get the best of its plant life. The first shot is of the Strawberry tree so called because its fruit resembles a stawberry. They make a local fire water called Mendronha from it. Very nice too. Also some gigantic Funghi in the woods.and lots of bird life. We think the one shown is a Bonnellis Warbler.
