The Praia Verde Trail is strategically located in the town of Altura, belonging to the municipality of Castro Marim, in the district of Faro. This natural route develops in an area adjacent to the renowned Praia Verde, benefiting from a privileged location that harmoniously integrates it into the Algarve coastal environment.
Its position offers immediate proximity to the ocean, allowing visitors to enjoy a unique setting where coastal vegetation meets the golden sand, providing unobstructed views of the coastline.
This trail invites a leisurely exploration of the surrounding nature, revealing the richness of the coastal ecosystem. Along the path, hikers are accompanied by the sea breeze and the gentle sound of the waves, elements that complement the serenity of the place. The landscape is dominated by resilient vegetation, adapted to dune and saline conditions, which gives the environment a unique character.
The Praia Verde Trail allows observation of the transition between the calm pine forest and the primary dune, creating a scene of tranquility and untouched beauty. It is an invitation to attentive observation of the local flora and, with some luck, of coastal birdlife, providing a complete immersion into the natural essence of the eastern Algarve.
The experience of walking the Praia Verde Trail is intrinsically linked to its remarkable scenic value. Each step offers new perspectives on the immensity of the Atlantic and the uniqueness of the dune landscape that characterizes this part of the coast. The higher points of the trail can provide wide panoramas over the sand and the vast expanse of the sea.
It is an ideal place for those seeking moments of tranquility and reflection, away from the hustle and bustle, where natural beauty serves as inspiration. The route is designed to allow visitors to appreciate the harmony between the blue of the sea, the green of the pine trees, and the gold of the sands, making it a symbol of the preservation of the region's natural beauty.
