Steep Descent at Cacela Velha

Highlight • Trail

I always call it "the hole of Cacela Velha" - steep down, steeper up again. Don't be too ambitious with the swing: oncoming traffic is possible and sometimes late.

Cacela Velha is a small and unique historical place, bordered to the south by a fortress and to the east and west by the parish cemetery overlooking the Ria Formosa.

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 🤣
