Walking in natural park Portugal

Walking March, it is a special experience to walk in this period! Nature reveals itself once again in this time of year, and everything is fresh and green. The plants and fields are full of colorful flowers, a beautiful sight! You can enjoy the bright purple flowers of the Judas tree, the pale pink almond blossoms, the yellow mimose, the white and light green calla lilies, the rock roses, the water ranunculus, the purple irises, the white broom, and the Betlehem.

Quinta do Pomarinho is located in natural park Serra de São Mamede, a rocky park with a special flora and fauna in a fairly rugged terrain. We have discovered and outlined more than 25 hiking trails in this park and the nearby located river area. They run along old smuggling trails, through white medieval villages, past vultures, over hills, and through forests.

The holiday walking program of walking March is as follows: 3 days of walking - 1 day of rest - 3 days of walking - 1 day of rest- 2 days of walking. If necessary or desired, the walking program can be tailored to the specific needs of the group. The walks vary in length and offer a nice variety of culture and nature.

A colourful group

Experience has taught us that our group holidays, and thus also the group walking holiday March, attracts a motley group of like-minded people. You will meet other nature lovers, hikers, and people just looking for some peace and quiet in Portugal who all enjoy sharing their stories and experiences. During walking March that is or course more than enough room for some privacy after the walk if you would like it.
