Steep Descent at Cacela Velha

Highlight • Trail

View of the Ria Formosa lagoon

Highlight • Viewpoint

A small round through the village with a magnificent view of the mudflats.
This place is probably included in every bus tour of the regional organizers, i.e. other groups are also staying there 🤣
