From nature hiking festivals, to rejuvenating treatments

Challenge yourself

Quinta do Lago is hosting the 7th Tri Triathlon competition on November 10 between 8.30am and 2pm at The Campus.

All non-federated male and female athletes are welcome and invited to participate, and can register in the Sprint or SuperSprint categories.

This morning is seen as a “celebration of sport, well-being and community” by the resort, which describes this multi-sport experience as “unforgettable” thanks to the paradisiacal scenery that surrounds the athletes during the competition.

Algarve Walking Season

The Algarve Walking Season project, established to encourage walking festivals in the region’s rural areas, has announced its lineup of walking festivals, alongside a new website (algarvewalkingseason.com) designed to attract more visitors to the area during the low season.
