Join Manon on a gentle morning hike to discover the Guincho dunes, coastline & hills, take in the fresh air & views of the area where she grew up.
We'll meet at the Duna da Cresmina café and start with a a stroll along the wooden boardwalk that winds through the heart of Guincho’s protected dunes. From there, we'll cross the wild stretch of Guincho beach, follow the coastal cliffs for a bit, then head inland along a quiet trail that takes us up a hill with stunning views and back down into the village of Charneca. For those who'd like to stick around for lunch after, we'll end our walk at the União Recreativa da Charneca: a no-frills, local favourite hangout where residents gather for cheap food, drinks, and a truly authentic slice of village life!
Different to Sintra, but you’ll see Guincho has its own magic touch!
