Walking in Europe, take a self guided walking 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 walking holidays. This is possibly Europe's least populated region and is very peaceful. Few tourists and walkers have discovered this secluded and beautiful part of Europe yet it is a perfect place for a hill walking, hiking or rambling vacation. It is rare to meet other people walking 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. Forget any concerns about your right to roam. 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 ramble on. There are waymarked walking routes within the park and nearly all of them are circular walks. 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 walking. We give you 1/25000 scale route maps marked up with the walking route and points of interest accompanied by detailed walking notes. If you are considering a hiking vacation in Europe, or a walking holiday in Europe see Walking in Portugal for more details and then look at the self catering (self contained) accommodation we provide.
