If you get the opportunity to visit Tavira I cannot recommend this town highly enough. For me it is a beautiful place where you can rest up and relax or sight see as much as you want. If you don't speak Portuguese I can guarantee you that 99% of the people you meet will speak almost flawless English. Good luck and enjoy your travels.Prior to dog sitting I went and walked 7 days from Faro to Fornalhas Velhas. Now I am heading back on Monday to Faro once more. Not sure yet if I try to get back where I left off or have two weeks out from Faro once more? I've a bit more time and can't come back prior to the half term break in the UK as flights are very expensive. There was an alternative route from Castro Verde towards Colos and Cercal do Alentejo so that's a possibility?
The first few days passing out of Faro up into the hills via Loulé, Salir, Ameixial and crossing into Alentejo around Santa Cruz were excellent... But the next few stages were a bit monotonous on the plains... It's the nature of el Camino, I know...
So back to Faro Monday. There is Tavira to go along the Nascente too as an option?
As everyone here knows I am a big fan of the Nascente so it’s definitely an option, although you won’t have time to do the whole thing.There is Tavira to go along the Nascente too as an option?

It took us about 50 days! The Nascente is about 650km from Tavira to Trancoso and then there are a few different options for continuing towards Santiago. We chose the Torres and Geira.How long does it take to get to Spain along the Nascente?
I might walk a bit of it to Trancoso. But I might also get myself back to Tui and walk to Santiago. That was impossible back in December when the rain came down as I plodded to the station in Âncora Praia five days along the CoastalIt took us about 50 days!

Something good will come alongComing up in a few days, between Alcoutim and Mértola (~45km) the only place to stay is in Mezquita, as far as I’m aware. So I think it would be wise to call ahead to see if it’s open. Info at Wise Pilgrim.
