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.
