This spectacular hike has been voted unanimously the best hike of 2022.

 It was a great day out, with mild temperatures, sunny and a little wind. Just right.

We walked towards Praia da Bordeira then walked up the board walk.

Banana break near Carrapateira Point. My camera was straight, it was the se that was sloping down because of the big waves.

Awesome scenery on Carrapateira Point. 

We reached Praia Muracao and had a well deserved lunch. Then the going got tougher, with some alpine climbing and descent for which everybody was well prepared and trained. No ropes necessary.

At the highest point thus far Frank takes a break.

On the way back to Carrapateira, we begun the descent to Praia do Amado.

Finally back at the café dos Amigos in Carrapateira, I spotted this interesting painting of the town, viewed from the perspective of a fish. 

 

I spent the rest of the afternoon wandering around Carrapateira Point admiring a beautiful sunset with the roaring waves as a soundtrack. What can be better than that?
