Sintra Walks

Winter start time is now 10:30

For general inquiries: Joanne Hokes and/or Marsha Turner Pluhar - sintrawalks.iwp@gmail.com

Come and join us for stimulating walks through the Sintra mountains and along the coast. Meet new friends and enjoy spectacular scenery while exercising. You should be fit enough to walk for 2-3 hours at a reasonable pace, mostly off road, along trails that can include steep slopes and slippery and uneven terrain. Suitable clothing and footwear is recommended.

For information regarding a particular walk, please contact the leader for each walk listed.  We have different meeting places, so check before setting out!
