Confluence of the Arade and Odelouca rivers

Silves Nautical Club

Highlight • Restaurant

From here you have a beautiful view over the Rio Arade to Silves and it is a good starting point for a hike along the river. In winter, numerous birds (storks, spoonbills, cormorants) can also be observed from here.

Orange and Tangerine Groves of Ilha do Rosário

Highlight • Natural

For much of the route of Ilha do Rosário you can see orange and tangerine plantations. Some trees are partially wild, and more opportunistic hikers can take advantage and pick the fruits (normally in winter) from the tree.

January 24, 2025,Levadas da Ilha do Rosário – Rundweg Nähe Silves

Today we decided on a shorter route near Silves because we wanted to stroll around a bit. The route was not marked but easy to walk, first along the Levada, where after a few kilometers we had beautiful views of Ri Silves.

First along the canal, then over the hill. My favorite hike in the Algarve. Beautiful nature, good for body and soul.

It actually rained last night. Near Silves we go for a hike along a water pipe. Just above the rivers Rio Arade and Ribeira de Odelouca it winds its way past orange groves.
