Figueirinha Ecoturismo awarded Rita Gonzalez and Hugo Tornelo, coordinators of the “Histórias à Sombra do Montado” project, the Figueirinha Nature Award 2023.  Inspired by the popular saying “who cares about their grandchildren plants a cork oak”, this graphic novel project calls attention to the importance of preserving the cork oak forest as a true reserve of natural biodiversity. The stories were written by Ana Bárbara Pedrosa, Ana Margarida de Carvalho, Afonso Cruz and Luís Afonso, and designed by Joana Afonso, João Maio Pinto, Marta Teives and Nuno Saraiva, with graphic design by Rui Santos. 

 

The stories are available for free download on the website: www.historiasasombradomontado.pt

ACTIVITIES

We help you book the activity you want

Hiking Trails

Among cork and olive trees we have marked two walking trails to discover this still pure and beautiful landscape. Also Rota Vicentina Association has marked a hiking trail that one can choose from 6, 8 to 13 km that leads to the hill where a small chapel calls for worship to Nª Senhora das Neves. Here one can have a magnificent view from 277 meters high. In São Luís (12 km) the hikers can catch the Historical Path and in Vila Nova de Milfontes (25 km) the Fishermens Trail, both part of the hiking trails also developed by the association.

Horse Riding

Monte da Barbanxa only 2 km from São Luís and 10 km from Figueirinha Ecoturismo, offer several experiences even to the less experienced. Rides, advanced riding lessons, therapeutic riding and pony lessons for the smaller crowd. If you wish we can help you organize your visit.

Cycling

Besides the walking trails marked by Figueirinha Ecoturismo that can be also be done by bike, there are a number of dirt roads that one can use to discover the region. For those who prefer a bigger challenge we recommend Rota Vicentina off road cycling trails, one of which has a higher degree of difficulty and goes by our rural tourism, where one can also find a Bike Station, and through Nª Senhora das Neves.

Canoeing down river Mira

Canoeing or kayak down river Mira is an experience not to be missed for those who are visiting the SW of Portugal. Ecotrails and Figueirinha Ecoturismo invite you to come and visit the tranquil waters of the Mira, experience its biodiversity and discover the different scenarios that vary according to the tides. From the river estuary in Vila Nova de Milfontes to Odemira or Casa Branca, an old wheat shipment wharf.
