Surf Trip Portugal with Bryan & Yuko from US! 5 Stars via Google Reviews: “My wife and I were fortunate enough to schedule a 12 day trip guided by Antonio and Vitor from Ride351. We're in our early 50s and had been to many of the tourist sites in Portugal previously on a self-guided trip. This time, we wanted a trip focused primarily on surfing and beach towns, while also enjoying excellent local food, wines, and cultural experiences. Antonio and Vitor did a great job on short notice crafting a tour that had everything we wanted and much more! They arranged hotels and restaurants, did all the driving, rented all the gear, introduced us to places, food, wine & people we wouldn't have found on our own, and they provided illuminating insights from their wealth of knowledge and personal experiences. They are professional, considerate, creative, flexible, and pleasant travel companions.

As my wife had never surfed, it was especially important to me that she could explore other interests as desired while I was out surfing with Vitor - usually about 1/2 the day. Antonio ensured she never got "stuck" at a remote beach and Vitor, an experienced surf instructor, did an excellent job giving my wife a surf lesson - she had a great time and was able to stand on the board! We wish we could have stayed longer, and the next time we head to Portugal, we'll look forward to reconnecting with the team at Ride351.” Join us https://ride351.com/dream-holidays-in-portugal/

A Small Paradise - Praia de Odeceixe, Aljezur, Portugal - 16 June 2023

18 for the end of year asks

18. A memorable meal this year. A massive bowl of clams! I had flown to Portugal and hired a car to drive around. Having navigated the steep mountains on the way to Odeceixe, a two hour drive from the airport, I drove to the beach and parked, then walked, travel sore and knackered from driving, down to the beach. The first restaurant I came to had outdoor seating so I collapsed at a table. Anything would have tasted amazing at that point. I sat looking at the beach eating clams and relishing being by the sea. Then I walked down to the sea, swam and then slept on the beach until I felt human again.

[ad_1] In a chaotic modern world, there’s no feeling comparable to escaping into nature and clearing our minds amongst the serenity of wilderness. But setting off on a multi-day hiking trail isn’t just good for our souls; it can also help us connect with new countries and cultures in a more in-depth way. Sure, snow-capped peaks, hinterland hideaways and dense rainforest all promise a pristine backdrop, the kind we need for the introspection we often seek on our travels. But for me, the best multi-day hiking destinations also offer something else: a chance to understand a country through its landscapes, fauna and flora, and most importantly, the local communities we meet on the way. There are plenty of articles already out there which summarise the most famous routes through the likes of Austria, Switzerland, Canada, and the USA. Instead, I’ve decided to highlight twelve mainly ‘offbeat’ multi-day trails I’ve discovered, some of which I’ve tackled multiple sections, while others I’ve just dipped into for a day.  Annapurna Circuit – Nepal While submitting Nepal’s Mount Everest might be the loftiest goal of extreme mountain climbers, a trekking trip in Nepal doesn’t need to be defined by the world’s highest peak. Nor is reaching new heights necessarily the best way to get to know this Himalayan nation. For that, it’s best to combine the soaring scenery and cinematic vistas with more cultural experiences to get to know Nepal more intimately. One of the best multi-day hiking trails to do so is the Annapurna Circuit, a high-altitude, advanced linear trek covering between 160-230 kilometres in 12 to 21 days, depending on your chosen route. Yes, you’ll hit some heights as you cross the Thorong La pass at 5416 metres, but you’ll also have the chance to meet plenty of locals and discover Nepalese customs as you circle imposing Mount Annapurna. Family-run teahouses provide rest en route – which aren’t just for hot drinks, but also meals and accommodation – and sacred sites, such as the Muktinath Temple, offer insights into local communities and traditions. Plus, you’ll have the chance to appreciate a variety of landscapes, from snow-clad peaks to verdant lowlands, due to the serious elevation gain along the trail. Praia de Odeceixe marks the border between the Algarve and the Alentejo on the Fisherman’s Trail Fisherman’s Trail – Portugal  Portugal’s southern region of the Algarve is usually best known for its cliff-backed beaches and popular holiday resorts, while the neighbouring Alentejo region is celebrated for its viticulture. But the Fisherman’s Trail (Trilho dos Pescadores) — one of two multi-day hiking trails which constitute the Rota Vicentina — shines a spotlight on a different, more serene side of the country as it tracks the windswept rugged beaches, bays, and low-slung mountains of the west coast. Starting near Lagos in the Algarve and ending in São Torpes in the Alentejo, this 226-kilometre linear trail crosses the Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina, a pristine and protected area of sands, Atlantic waves, scrublands, and remote villages. To complete the whole thing will take around 13 days, though it’s easy to dip in and out of sections or use luggage transfer companies if you’d rather hike bag-free.  As far as multi-day hiking destinations go, this track is not that intense, and there are plenty of gorgeous rural farm-style accommodations and local experiences to enjoy en route. One of the best things to do in the Algarve in spring, when wildflowers decorate part of the tracks, you’ll undoubtedly discover a different side of Portugal: a more gentle, laid-back time capsule of the country’s pre-mass-tourism past.  Hiking in Peru around the Sacred Valley is unforgettable The Sacred Valley – Peru  Peru has earned its place on the legendary multi-day hiking destinations, with the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu being the country’s most extraordinary claim to fame.

But in and around the Sacred Valley, plenty more options don’t require organising permits and applications months (or even a year) in advance. As a (very) unorganised person who can’t plan that far ahead, my multi-day hiking trail of choice was the Lares Trek. A two to three day high-altitude 33 kilometre moderate linear trail that crosses some ancient ruins, dazzling lakes, and a magnificent valley descent. Camping under the stars in the Andes was an absolute starry-sky dream, and meeting some local villagers on the way added to the memories. But if you’d prefer to discover this historic region of Peru without porters and chilly nights in makeshift accommodation, that is also easily done. Travel Differently offers a range of bespoke luxury tours in Peru with overnight stays in lodges rather than tents, alongside offbeat experiences in the Sacred Valley without compromising on comfort. Crossing the border between Lithuania and Latvia on the Baltic Coastal Trail The Baltic Coastal Trail – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia This summer, I was blessed to spend eight glorious weeks exploring the three Baltic States of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. I was blown away by how laid-back and nature-focused this trio of nations are. Aptly, if you plan to tackle the complete Baltic Coastal Trail, you’d also need to spend around the same amount of time here, as it stretches for some 1420 kilometres – the inland forest version being even longer. Still, these three multi-day hiking destinations are ideal for breaking down into sections so that you can experience a part of each country’s tracks. For the most part, it literally hugs the shoreline, occasionally moving into a pine forest or away from the protected dunes. I opted to take a three-day section across the border from Lithuania to Latvia, a serene passage of soft sands, colourful pebbles, and footprint-free beaches, with camping courtesy of the historic wooden village in Pape. Waking up to views like this in Tajikistan was magical The Fann Mountains Lake Loop – Tajikistan  Central Asia’s hiking scene has long been celebrated by in-the-know trail hunters and expert hikers who don’t mind going it alone. But that has changed in recent years, with various new multi-day hiking trails and support systems being set up in these magnificent countries. One of the most impressive multi-day hiking destinations I’ve discovered in recent years was Tajikistan. It’s fair to say I knew little about the country when my friend Nicole invited me to join her on a return visit, but after spending two weeks touring the country with her and our tents, I can’t stop praising this unsung land.  Perhaps the most magical of the hiking trails we embarked on was the ‘Fann Mountains Lake Loop’, which will vary in length depending on how many of the seven lakes you visit and whether you opt for a linear or circular route. Most people will spend around three to five days covering 30-50 kilometres, which includes crossing a couple of passes. While the gravel terrain and uphill slogs can be exhausting, all is forgiven as you look down on the glistening lakes and set up camp with barely anyone else around. Hike to the historic ethnic village of Lukimor Via Dinarica – Bosnia & Herzegovina  I’ve been waxing lyrically about Bosnia and Herzegovina for nearly a decade, and after a handful of visits to the country, I’m still convinced it’s one of the most beautiful in the world — seriously, it’s hard to believe some of the lakes here aren’t straight out of photoshop. Thankfully, many others are starting to appreciate just how special this Balkan nation is, and that’s seen a fair pur of support and investment coming into the country to support creating new tourism products, attractions and trails. The Via Dinarica is, however, not just in Bosnia & Herzegovina but actually connects Albania in the south to Slovenia in the north, with the ‘White Route’ spanning some 1260 kilometres. Of course, very

few people would be able to tackle these multi-day hiking trails in one go, but it’s easy to plan to do a section at the time. Anchored to the limestone karst range of the Dinaric Alps, the route has a few different options – the White Trail is complete, while others are still developing – usually with accommodation in mountain huts where you’ll be showered with the legendary local hospitality. En route, you can stop and detour to some of the best places to visit in Bosnia & Herzegovina, such as Lukomir, an isolated village in the Bjelasnica Mountain, where traditions are preserved. Mount Taranaki as seen from New Plymouth The Pouakai Circuit – New Zealand  Unsurprisingly, for a nation where nature writ large, New Zealand has established itself as one of the top multi-day hiking destinations. Across Aotearoa’s two main islands, you’ll find a bevy of routes to pick from, with some of the most famous, such as the Routeburn and Milford Track, seeing heavy footfall in the peak months. However, one of my favourite memories of the country comes from the Taranaki region, where I circled the mountain of the same name that sits at the heart of Egmont National Park. At the time, it was very much one of New Zealand’s hidden gems, as few international tourists came to this region, but the mountain’s majestic beauty has started to catch on.  A near-perfect conical shape, Mount Taranaki has served as the stand-in for Mount Fuji in the film ‘The Last Samurai’, and one of the highlights of this 25-kilometre (two to three days) circular route is seeing — if the wind is on your side — a near perfect reflection in the tarns. DOC Mountain huts offer a warm place to stay and work on a ticketing system, and if you’re lucky like I was, you’ll barely see another soul on the trails. Impressive Middleham Falls is a stop along the Waitukubuli National Trail Waitukubuli National Trail – Dominica When you think about the Caribbean, I guess you’re imagining indulgent soft sand beaches rather than multi-day hiking destinations. But Dominica isn’t your standard Caribbean island, and it wears its title as ‘the Nature Island’ with pride, something which was further accentuated in 2013 when it launched the Caribbean’s first long-distance route, the Waitukubuli National Trail. Taking its title from the island’s original name, as given by the Kalinago People, it’s fitting that Dominica is one of the few Caribbean islands left with a pre-Columbian tribe, and indeed, this path passes through their territory. In fact, the multi-day hiking trail stretches for around 185 kilometres, allowing you to see many of the highlights of the interior – think exotic birds, waterfalls and rainforest – as well as some of the dark sand beaches of the coast. While it will take around 10-14 days to complete the whole linear trek, it’s easy to dip in and out to different sections over a day or more, meaning it can be adjusted to suit your ability. The areas that start at the coastal Scotts Head, or mighty Middleham Falls, are suitable for getting a taste of the trail. The beautiful colours of Chikurinji Temple, the 31st stop on the Shikoku Pilgrimage Shikoku Pilgrimage – Japan  The land of fast and efficient bullet trains might make Japan a surprising candidate for a multi-day hiking destination. But if you think about just how lush and green the landscapes are, it actually makes total sense. Still, you’ll want to make sure you’re picking a multi-day hiking trail showcasing Japan’s best, and the Shikoku Pilgrimage does precisely that. A pilgrimage route linking 88 temples together, it tracks near the coast of Shikoku island, crossing the four prefectures of Ehime, Tokushima, Kagawa, and Kochi. In total, the route is 1200 kilometres, so while it’s sold as a circular trail, it will only be if you have around six or more weeks to spare. Pick a section in one prefecture, don the typical conical hat, and set off to see some of the gorgeous temples on this moderate trail.

As a bonus, this is also one of Japan’s best wellness destinations, meaning you can rest your weary feet with a massage, an onsen visit, or some deep sea water therapy on your overnight stops.  The South West Coast Path brings you to plenty of pretty beaches Jurassic Coast (South West Coast Path) – England  England’s South West Coastal Path – the longest in the country – has established itself as one of the best multi-day hiking trails in the United Kingdom, covering over 1000 kilometres. But it’s easily broken down into manageable sections, and there’s no part that I’d recommend more than the 185-kilometre linear stretch between Starcross and Poole. Here, you’ll be literally following in the footsteps of dinosaurs as you track the coast-hugging trail between Devon and Dorset. Sure, it’s a quick and fun road trip along the Jurassic Coast, but by taking it slow, you’ll have plenty more time to look for fossils both imprinted into rocks and hidden on the beaches.  Alternatively, it’s easy to break this down into day sections to enjoy on your South West England beach holiday. I mean, how many multi-day hiking destinations can boast 185 million years of geological history?  Tea fields in Sri Lanka’s lush interior are a highlight of the Pekoe Trail Pekoe Trail – Sri Lanka Sri Lanka‘s first long-distance multi-day hiking trail opened to little fanfare in 2021, partly due to tourism being shuttered globally. But now that visitors are back, they are reporting how magical an experience the Pekoe Trail is. That’s not to say it’s all-new, though, as even when I visited many years ago, I took on some parts of this mainly highland route. Instead, sections and new stretches have been linked together to form a 300-kilometre, 22-day track that links from near Kandy to Nuwara Eliya. Mostly, you’ll be very much in nature: think tea plantations and dense forests. Accommodation comes in the form of different lodges and guest houses just off the trailhead, and if you do the whole route, you’ll have seen a big chunk of one of the best islands to visit in the world. For most visitors, though, it likely makes more sense to spend a few days enjoying the sections around the highlands, starting at the end in Nuwara Eliya, especially if you plan to include the gorgeous train ride from Kandy to Ella.  Pin it: 12 Incredible Multi-Day Hiking Destinations: From Famed Peaks to Offbeat Trails (Top: Peru / Bottom: Atlas Mountains) The Circle of Toubkal – Morocco  Arguably Morocco’s best multi-day hiking destination, the Atlas Mountains, a vast range across Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, are a true adventure playground, with plenty of different sceneries to take in once you’ve strapped on your hiking boots. For a moderate yet still high-altitude exploration of the region, The Circle of Toubkal offers a great introduction, as the entire multi-day hiking trail can be covered in around four to six days, making it ideal on a one-week holiday. The circular route is around 60 kilometres, starting and ending in the village of Imlil. The great diversity of landscapes makes this trail particularly special, as you’ll see not just dry and dusty scenes but also lush valleys and shimmering lakes, with Jebel Toubkal’s mighty 4167 metres always as a central point – and yes, you can detour to summit it.

Levantamento dos prejuízos em Odemira decorre até 12 de setembro

O levantamento dos prejuízos causados pelo incêndio de Odemira, no distrito de Beja, vai ser feito até 12 de setembro, enquanto o Governo decide os apoios a conceder, revelou a ministra da Coesão Territorial.

"É o tempo de fazer o levantamento rigoroso dos prejuízos e irmos recebendo alguma informação e planeando" os apoios, afirmou a ministra Ana Abrunhosa, em declarações aos jornalistas em São Miguel, na freguesia de São Teotónio, Odemira.

A governante falava após uma reunião com dirigentes de associações e autarcas deste território sobre os danos provocados pelo fogo, dado como dominado na quarta-feira, realizada no Centro Sociocultural de São Miguel.

Ana Abrunhosa adiantou que uma nova reunião ficou agendada para 12 de setembro, também no concelho de Odemira, referindo que nessa altura já haverá "dados definitivos dos prejuízos e, provavelmente, até já uma ideia dos apoios concretos".

"Se não conhecermos os problemas, como é que vamos criar as medidas", questionou.

Segundo a responsável pela tutela da Coesão Territorial, o Governo ainda não tem "os números exatos de habitações permanentes e unidades turísticas" destruídas pelas chamas, "nem sequer a certeza absoluta dos hectares que arderam".

"Quando criamos as medidas, temos que ter um levantamento fidedigno de prejuízos", pois "os apoios são dinheiro dos nossos impostos e nós também temos que prestar contas", salientou.

Reconhecendo que "as pessoas sofreram" com o incêndio e que "têm pressa em ser ajudadas", Ana Abrunhosa alertou que o Governo não pode criar medidas de apoio "como se tivesse recursos ilimitados e sem saber o que está em causa".

A governante, que iniciou a deslocação a Odemira com uma passagem pelo posto de comando, instalado em São Teotónio, disse ainda que os apoios do Governo destinam-se a "quem tem seguro" e são "para a parte que não é coberta".

"Em geral, o apoio é a fundo perdido", prosseguiu.

De acordo com a ministra, o Governo pode utilizar o Plano de Recuperação e Resiliência (PRR) para a criação de uma área integrada de gestão florestal e verbas do programa Portugal 2030 para a recuperação da biodiversidade na zona atingida pelo fogo.

"No caso de habitação permanente, há uma medida que está sempre aberta, que é o Porta de Entrada, através do Instituto da Habitação e da Reabilitação Urbana (IHRU), acrescentou.

No final da reunião, Ana Abrunhosa, acompanhada pelos autarcas de Odemira (Beja) e Aljezur (Faro) e outros responsáveis, visitou Odeceixe, neste concelho algarvio, e observou, a partir de um ponto alto, a destruição provocada pelo fogo.

O incêndio, que teve início no dia 5 e foi dado como dominado às 10h15 de quarta-feira, mantém-se em vigilância.

O fogo rural numa área de mato e pinhal deflagrou na zona de Baiona, na freguesia de São Teotónio, concelho de Odemira, a meio da tarde do dia 5 e entrou nos concelhos algarvios de Monchique e Aljezur.

A área ardida ascende a cerca de 8.400 hectares, num perímetro de 50 quilómetros.
