Description by the author

Preamble:
Legendary Adventure (www.legendatours.com) offers a hiking package tour in Eastern Algarve with Tavira as a base.
This includes 7 nights (room + breakfast), transport to and from Faro airport, 5 very different walking tours with detailed roadbook and transport to the starting places.
These are offered in Belgium by Adagio Tours (www.adagiotours.be & info@adagiotours.be).
Description:
This walk is flat and starts from the cozy fishing village of Fuseta where you will also find the jars on the quay which the squid uses as its night shelter and can be fished.
Just outside the village, we continue between the salt pans. We arrive at the marshlands that are partially or even completely submerged by the tides.
Once we go back inland we walk between a wilder nature and further between the citrus, orange or pomegranate trees.
