The whitewashed houses with colorful doors, the Algarve chimneys are finely decorated, and the narrow streets are made of cobblestones. Walking through this town undoubtedly gives you the feeling of being inside a living painting.

The red and rugged cliffs, with their small grottos and rock tunnels, separating the beach from the hinterland, are the distinctive feature of Praia da Falesia. The crystal-clear water and golden sand also make the beach one of the most beautiful in the region; some even consider it one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Tripadvisor has named it one of the best beaches in the world.

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.
