Hiking

To the south is S. Brás de Alportel, and towards the southwest Loulé; to the west, which leads to Salir, Alte and S.Bartolomeu de Messines; towards the north the old EN2 continues, via Ameixial to Almodôvar; towards the northeast, where Cachopo and Martinlongo are located; and already signposted for Nascente Alcoutim.
It is a very wooded area, where you can find excellent walking trails and beautiful views.

Tia Bia organises romantic picnics. Surprise your partner with a walk followed by a surprise picnic. They have different menus available!

The restaurant is closed for dinner on Sundays and Mondays.

Super great restaurant with many delicacies. Especially game dishes. We recommend the dish "Migas de Caça", in venison goulash served in crispy bread dough (roughly the Portuguese special dish).
