Martinhal to Barranco

Still trying to finish the south coast path of the Algarve we walked the bit between Martihal to Barranco passing through the river valley of Rebolinhos. Martinhal, although a nearly new, purpose built resort, has a very nice beach. You walk up over the cliffs to the east and drop down into a little cove with a stream flowing down to the sea. Lots of bird life on this bay and very peaceful at this time of year. The route then continues over the cliff tops and along to Barranco. This beach has a wild camp-site and road down to it from  Raposeira is not signed anywhere. You find it by luck or asking other people. This is another fine walk in unspoiled surroundings
