Giões周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Furnazinhas is a charming mountain retreat, where time seems to have slowed down. The town remains faithful to the traditions and way of life of the Algarve's interior, proudly preserving its authentic soul.

High on a hill near Afonso Vicente, stand the Lavajo Menhirs, Neolithic stone sentinels that have guarded the silence of this valley for over five thousand years. Carved in greywacke and engraved with circles and dimples, these monoliths seem to align themselves in an ancient mystery. Recovered and restored in 2004, they have returned to their original location, inviting passersby to imagine a time when the stone spoke to the sun.

Originating in the Caldeirão Mountains, this stream meanders down to the Guadiana, preserving one of the best-preserved riverbeds in the river basin along its mountainous course. In winter, it rushes down, carrying mud, sediment, and vegetation debris, carving the valley with sheer force. But it is in spring that it is reborn, crystal clear and fresh, until the summer heat causes it to shrink into thin streams, leaving only shimmering pools in the dry riverbed.

In Furnazinhas the 3rd walk of the Via Algarviana starts. After crossing this village in a northerly direction, the route leads you along a steep landscape with fallow land, meadows, vast sun rose fields and here and there a vegetable garden that is still in use. The pronounced relief is broken by several streams.

Albufeira do Pereiro is a small body of water next to the village of the same name. On the bank opposite this point there is a picnic area, camping area and parking lot.
