Hiking
A large part of the rivers and streams in the Algarve are not perennial. Some dry out in times of drought, like Ribeira da Quarteira. The dry bed exposes several rocks.

Hiking
The dry riverbed can be very wet at times during a rainy period. In early April 2025, crossing the river meant carrying the bike and wading knee-high.

Hiking
At the end of April, this river crossing was unfortunately not possible due to the water level. Strong current and no safe way.
