Ecovia Bike- und Hiking-Trail
The Ecovia Bike- and Hiking-Trail connects the spanish Border on the Algarve with The Cap Sao Vicente. Originally planned as Bike-Trail, many parts are very beautiful to walk, especially in the Tavira area and west of Albufeira.
The Trail runs as close as possible to the coast, on small roads and dirt tracks. With a bike, the whole distance takes between 2-4 days.
The trail is partially marked. In the bigger citys, a blue line on the road indicates the Ecovia.
The Track of the total distance is available as kml file:
