Be careful! After rain, there are many deep puddles and slippery descents. It's not possible without poles. Keep an eye on the map more than usual. Signs to the left or right of Komoot can sometimes be confusing. A beautiful hike.

The watermill on the Quarteira River, like the Cabana do Castelo watermill, is a traditional device, often older than windmills, with roots in the Arab period, using the force of water in a waterwheel to grind cereals, and is an important ethnographic heritage in the Algarve region, with notable examples near Paderne. In these mills, the cereals were finely ground, transformed into flour, from which bread was made. Currently, they are relics of the past, but they are natural museums of rural activity from times past. 👍

The red and rugged cliffs, with their small grottos and rock tunnels, separating the beach from the hinterland, are the distinctive feature of Praia da Falesia. The crystal-clear water and golden sand also make the beach one of the most beautiful in the region; some even consider it one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Tripadvisor has named it one of the best beaches in the world.

This chapel is located on a narrow 'peninsula' and shines in rich white. Surrounded by a low wall, it might be a bit intimidating for a German at about 40 cm tall, but the view of the sea and the cliffs is worth it. Definitely a must-see for excursions and explorers 👍

Circuit carried out in March 2024. Without difficulty and very flowery in spring. You can access the vicinity of the castle of Paderne by a fairly steep but short path
