Wonderful sandy beach with a length of approx. 550 m, parking and showers available.

February 20, 2023,Praia Ribeira Cha – Spooky woods Runde von Ribeira Chã

Nice crisp round.
Approximately in the middle of the tour there are two or three places where you have to be careful with the route.
It is not always immediately clear where to go next.

Please note, the stairs at the beginning are very steep and not suitable for inexperienced hikers. Each step is approximately 85 cm and there are a lot of them
