Explore the Algarve on foot with this Kompass guide and map combo.
Between golden cliffs, orange groves, whitewashed villages, and wild coastal paths, the Algarve is an ideal destination for hiking… provided you have the right information at the right time. This KOMPASS hiking guide is designed to accompany you on your journey with a simple promise: tried-and-tested, easy-to-read, and simple routes to plan, whether you're heading out for a half-day or a multi-day trek.
This Algarve hiking guide includes several features:
- 50 day or half-day hikes in the Algarve, mostly loops, to discover the region on foot.
- 14 described and mapped stages for completing the Via Algarviana. This 300 km hike takes you from Alcoutim to Cabo de San Vicente.
- A separate 1:100,000 scale tourist map for an overview. It includes the Via Algarviana route, variations, and day hikes with possible connections.
- Access to download GPX data.
Although primarily a hiking guide, it can also be useful for cyclists: identifying areas to explore on foot (viewpoints, coastal paths), ideas for off-the-beaten-path excursions during a bikepacking trip, or a backup plan when the weather forces you to shorten a stage. The guide remains focused on hiking, with a compact format that easily fits in a pannier.
In short: a highly practical guide for planning, choosing, and linking together beautiful hikes in the Algarve, with additional maps and GPX tracks to save time and travel lighter.
Please note, this guide is in German: we recommend having a basic German phrasebook if you don't know any German. Thanks to its detailed maps and clear information, this guide is still very useful. Unfortunately, there is no equivalent product available in French.
