Barranco do Velho is a mountain village on the N2, once the main road from Faro to Lisbon. It is located in the middle of the Serra and is surrounded by an excellent hiking area with streams, hills and valleys. It is a very popular hunting area for many Portuguese. The rural life of the population seems romantic to the visitor, but in reality it is a very difficult existence. Cork in particular is an important raw material here.
