About this experience

We will leave towards Galinhos and we will cross a distance of 160km, for about two hours. We will make the first stop in João Camará, known as Terra dos Abalo and Baixa Verde. There, we will have the option to hire a typical breakfast of the region.

When we arrive in Galinhos, we will follow the boat trip through the city that still preserves traces of fisherman's village. Galinhos is situated on a peninsula with access only by water. The place is inserted in the Costa Blanca Tourist Polo.

In addition to visiting the famous region of Galinhos, we can choose to reach the beach by walking or hiring the service of the carriage that leads to the lighthouse, a cart that can carry two people. We will continue to the André Dune, where we can hire (optional) Buggy rides of about 20 minutes, with capacity for up to four people each. We will stop for a swim in Lagoa do Capim and continue to our final point, the beach of Galos, where we can have lunch in a free buffet.
