HD - 80 Minutes

Run along Praia da Rocha, the largest beach in Portugal, and continue to the Alvor Boardwalk, often considered one of the largest boardwalks in Europe. Prepare for an energizing workout on wooden paths stretching approximately 3 miles (5 km), surrounded by fresh Atlantic air and wide coastal views.

Praia da Rocha lies on the Atlantic Ocean in the southern part of Portimão, Algarve, and is known for its expansive sandy beach and vibrant coastal setting. Nearby Praia dos Três Castelos adds dramatic character to the landscape with its striking limestone rock formations rising from the shoreline.

The Alvor Estuary offers a very different but equally captivating experience. Calm, gentle, and unspoiled, this protected natural haven features sand dunes, ancient salt pans, traditional farmland, and rich salt and freshwater marshes. The scenery feels serene and intimate, making it an ideal place to enjoy peaceful surroundings, observe abundant birdlife, and explore pristine local beaches—all best experienced along the Alvor Boardwalk itself.

Together, these routes create a perfect blend of coastal energy and natural tranquility, ideal for running, walking, or immersive outdoor exercise.
