WAKE UP RUN: Atlantic Ocean & Clifftops
1h30
About this activity
Itinerary
We’ll head out to the clifftops along routes heavy with historical reverie. From the ancient fishing industry, harking back to the Romans to the ominous links with slavery, the paths we take allows one to soak up Portugal’s accumulated memories.
The trails are still somnambulant in the early mornings, with only the bucolic noises of the ocean guiding us on our way. Expect paths studded with fossilised shells and thickly edged with wildflowers. See secret coves and suss out secluded beaches.
We’ll avoid the flotillas of tourists as we stride along in the early sunshine, spotting sandy sink holes and peeping at Portuguese plants.
Oh, and did I mention the views…
We’ll follow historical paths, spotting lighthouses, an old hermitage and the point known as the “End Of The World” as it was known to the Romans. See sandy coves and shells fossilised into rocks. Hear salt water sizzling on the sand as the waves crash beneath us whilst we trot alongside the blissfully blue Atlantic ocean. Learn about Portuguese plants and produce as we’ll forage for fruit from the trees and sample seasonal produce along the way.
Stop At:
• Ponta da Piedade Lighthouse, Ponta da Piedade, Lagos Portugal
• Praia do Canavial, Lagos Portugal
• Praia do Camilo, Rua da Costa D'Oiro between Praia Dona Ana Beach and Praia da Boneca Beach, Lagos 8600-544 Portugal
