The Barranco do Demo Boardwalk is a spectacular wooden walkway near Alferce in the Algarve, featuring a 50-meter-long suspension bridge spanning a deep gorge. The route is approximately 1 km long and is part of a larger 6 km walk around the village. The path offers impressive views, but also includes many steps and elevation changes, making it somewhat challenging. It has been open since 2023 and attracts many visitors.
