It&#8217;s not surprising that hikers get attached to this region and often return to Portugal. But it&#8217;s not only the great variety of routes that makes the south-west of the Algarve an ideal hiking destination. Of course, it&#8217;s also the great weather conditions! The Algarve has about 3000 hours of sunshine per year, spread over 300 days. Best times to explore the region on foot are spring and autumn, as well as the mild winter. February, for example, on average only has 5 days of rain and the temperature can easily reach about 20 degrees during the day.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_class=&#8221;mr-s-content c1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; custom_width_px=&#8221;827px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_team_member name=&#8221;Hiking Routes&#8221; image_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.monterosaportugal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Aktiva-8-1.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;26px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||60px|&#8221; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Beautiful dunes, fascinating cliffs and stunning deserted beaches.
