Last month, I celebrated my 70th birthday with 3 weeks in Portugal during which I did day hikes on the island of Madeira and an inn-to-inn hike on the Fishermen's Way along Portugal's southwest coast. Everything about the hiking was great! The views along the mainlandcoast were stunning. Madeira was awesome, both along the coast and inland which was a virtual rainforest.
I have signed up to do a presentation at this October's ALDHA Gathering in Shippensburg, PA. In addition to showcasing my hikes, I plan to research other hiking options in Portugal. I'm aware of the Portuguese Camino route (in fact, I met some friends of friends who were starting it) but I'm as of now unfamiliar with other trails) There are some national parks in the northeastern part of the country which undoubtedly feature hiking trails.
Spending only 3 weeks, not all of which were hiking, hardly makes me an expert! Accordingly, I'd welcome any feedback and participation from WBers who have hiked in Portugal and/or know are familiar with the hiking scene and are willing to share their experience. Thanks!
