    WALKING route from Faro to Sagres

    Why don't you walk North on the Camino from Faro to Salir on the Via Algarviana. From there you follow the VA via Alte, Messines, Silves, Monchique and Marmelete to Aljezur and the RV. The VA is a great walk with reasonable accommodation.

    Starting Portuguese Camino on Tuesday

    Hiya Scruffy, got this too late to comply with your request, but did note the shrine. Portuguese was no problem as I speak it quite fluently due to having been married to a Brazillian "lady"-(bad memories!) many years ago. Rick :x
