Lapa das Pombas
This route starts in the centre of Almograve Village
heading towards the beach, where to the left is a
visit to the natural port and theme of the route,
named “Lapa das Pombas” . Seeing as the route is
North bound this is just an easy access to the
fishing port, to then recontinue from the beach
car park. Continuing North via the foot bridge the
path follows along the cliffs untill 600metres from
Foz dos Ouriços. After crossing the small stream
the route continues along the cliff North untill
a beautiful stretch of beach called “Praia do Brejo
Largo”. Reaching this beach we turn inland after
sighting a house close to the coast. The path runs
alongside this house around the edge of a grass field.
In the distance a house is in sight as the path snakes
through a pine wooded area. Then we come to a
grazing area with fencing to the left. To the right,
southward, we can see in the distance the beautiful
village of Almograve.Continuing along a wide
dirtrack untill reaching a tarmaced road we then go
right towards the public washhouse, and are then
only some metres from Almograve Village.
