It was along sandstone paths, of high aesthetic value, that I traveled this truly magical route. The cliffs reveal an impressive contrast of colors — shades of red, brown, and white — sculpted over time by the action of water and wind. This erosion gives rise to unique shapes, such as "fairy chimneys," and helps to nourish the extensive sandy area with fine sand. In addition to their geomorphological and landscape value, these cliffs constitute habitats of ecological importance, with plants well adapted to the location. Notable species include mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus), camphor thyme (Thymus camphoratus), sandalwood (Osyris), stone pine (Pinus pinea), lavender (Lavandula spp.), and daphne (Thymelaea villosa),... which contribute to soil stability and the biodiversity of the area.

The Church of São Bartolomeu de Messines is a religious building, located in the parish of São Bartolomeu de Messines, in the Algarve region, in Portugal. It was classified as a property of public interest in 1955. The building was built in the period in which the Manueline style exerted influence, in the 14th and 15th centuries, although it still retains some 18th-century elements, such as the portal and the Baroque façade. Inside, you will find the only 16th-century set of twisted log columns in the Algarve, built of sandstone. Another striking element is the entrance portal to the cemetery, decorated with two Baroque volutes, also made of local sandstone. Due to the natural effect of erosion, the stoneware pieces acquired a very expressive appearance, with a very lively colour in reddish tones, and at the same time small dents and other marks on the surface of the stone. Several residential buildings next to the church also contain elements of red sandstone, in particular the frames of the openings in the facades, which gave the city centre an original appearance.

The trail starts right next to the ruins of the Moinhos de S. Vicente windmill. It first goes along the side of the mountain, a single trail with impressive views. Then turn left and go down the mountain. Not particularly complicated, but beautiful.

Orange is the second most produced fruit in the Algarve (with apples being the first). It is very natural, therefore, to see such plantations throughout the region's landscape. In this place, specifically, you cross an orange plantation.
