葡萄牙徒步Seven Hanging Valleys Trail @Carvoeiro
Carvoeiro，在這裏住了兩夜(6/7-6/9)，現在又忘了怎麽念它了，當時在當地特意去問當地人怎麽發音的。那麽怎麽會去這個連地名都不會說的地方呢？都是因為這條步道, Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, 號稱是Algarve的最美步道，就這麽被吸引去了。和Lagos一樣，Carvoeiro也是Algarve地區的一個旅遊小鎮, 當公車駛進這小鎮時，感覺發現了新大陸，這個小鎮真是漂亮，處處是豪宅，遊客相對也少一些，比Lagos好多了。到了海邊，更是眼睛一亮，原來景色最美的海灘在這裏。
P1, 景色最美的海灘是哪個？Praia da Marinha。Praia是葡萄牙語的beach海灘的意思。記得那天看到這景色，連連讚歎，一激動就發了個微信moment，等於現場直播。好幾位資深歐洲通的朋友都驚呼這個地方沒來過，它的visibility有待提高啊！
那廣告做的最凶的岩洞，Benagil Cave也在這裏。所以去葡萄牙南部，不要miss這個地方，這裏物價也貴，和景色成正比。總的印象，比Lagos好很多。交通工具，最好要租車，它有公車但是班次很少，或者就像咱這樣利用公車+開動自己的雙腳。
P2, Seven Hanging Valleys Trail這步道，參考網上這介紹。Praia da Marinha – Praia de Benagil – Alfanzina Lighthouse – Carvalho Beach – Praia de Vale Centianes，圖中藍色那段，很好走的。紅色那條的景色比它差一些，下篇再看。
P3, 繼續大西洋的海岸線，看圖說話...看看途中的步道和風景, Praia da Mesquita, 和Praia da Marinha緊挨著，排排坐。公車站和趴車場都是用Marinha名字，所以記住Marinha就行。
P4, Praia da Marinha，大的沙灘
P5, Praia da Mesquita
P6, Arco Natural Mesquita
P7, 這條步道的學名，PR1 LGA
P8, 各種水上運動
P9, 懸崖的上方就是步道
P10,
P11,
P12, Benagil Cave，從上麵看的。
P13, Benagil Cave，想從下麵望上看洞洞，要搭船進去，這也是那鋪天蓋地的廣告宣傳的地方。咱村也有類似的岩洞，潮水低的時候隨便走進都可以看，所以沒有強烈願望搭船進洞了。
P14, Praia de Benagil，那個紅頂白牆藍窗口的房子是一個餐館，這條步道下到這個海灘後，要爬上，通過這個餐館再繼續往前...
P15, Praia de Benagil
P16, Praia de Benagil
P17, Carvalho Beach
P18, Alfanzina Lighthouse
P19, Praia de Vale Centianes
P20,
P21,
P22, Carvoeiro beach
P23, 步道的終點就進入Carvoeiro小鎮，就幾條街，我們順便也逛遍，買了冰激淩和一些食物。這裏消費高，物價貴，越發懷念走Fishermen's的那些小漁村！
P24, 往回走...我們住的地方在Marinha那邊，所以這條走了來回。
P25,
PS, 前些日子看到Lonely Planet的這篇介紹，這條也是榜上有名的.
Seven Hanging Valleys Trail ~~ Best walk along sea cliffs ,5.7km (3.5 miles) one-way, 2-3 hours
The central coast of the Algarve is the starting point for one of the loveliest seaside walks in the Iberian peninsula. Multi-colored rock formations, the scent of the salt-tinged air, and the sound of crashing waves all set the stage for an immersive hike along coastal cliffs. The light is most impressive in the early morning or late in the day, but in truth, there’s no bad time to go. Even if you go in the heat of the day, you can cool off at beaches along the way (or wait until lovely Praia da Marinha at the end of the trail).
Don’t miss key photo opportunities, like the Alfanzina lighthouse or the wind-carved arches jutting into the ocean at Praia da Mesquita. The walk also passes over the Benagil Caves, but if you want to see the spectacular interior, head down to Praia de Benagil where you can arrange a boat trip.
