Hiking in Europe, take a self guided hiking holiday in a self catering house in fine hiking country in Portugal.We provide 1/25000 scale maps and route notes for your self-guided hiking holiday in the Parque Natural da Serra de São Mamede.
When you look for a place in Europe for an independent or self guided hiking holiday you might not immediately think of Portugal. The Parque Natural da Serra de São Mamede in Portugal is one of Europe's most beautiful and unspoilt areas and is ideal for self guided hiking holidays. This is one of the least populated regions of Europe. It is very peaceful and enchanting. Few tourists and hikers have discovered this secluded and beautiful part of Europe yet it is a perfect place for a hiking or rambling vacation. It is rare to meet other people hiking even on the most popular hiking trails. In this land with no tresspass law as such there are few limits on where you can go so you can pick a one of our 1/25000 maps and take a hike more or less where you please. There is hardly anybody else out there in the hills and if you encounter someone they are likely to bid you "good day" and watch in bemusement as you hike by. There are waymarked hiking routes within the park and nearly all of them are circular hikes. Even though the trails are within a single natural park they are varied in terms of ambience and terrain and the grade is easy to moderate. Fine country hiking. We give you 1/25000 scale route maps marked up with the hiking route and points of interest accompanied by detailed hiking notes. If you are considering a hiking vacation in Europe, or a hiking holiday in Europe see Hiking in Portugal for more details and then look at the self catering (self contained) accommodation we provide.
