Why Hiking in Alentejo is Even Better in October

October is one of the best months for hiking in Portugal. The heat of summer has passed, leaving crisp mornings and perfect walking weather. Trails along the Costa Vicentina are quieter, and the inland forests are alive with autumn colors. It’s hiking heaven for anyone who loves wide open skies and peaceful landscapes.

From short coastal walks to day-long treks, Alentejo has options for every level. At Quinta Camarena, we’re always happy to recommend routes or even guide you to some of our secret favorites. Hiking in October isn’t just exercise—it’s a way to connect deeply with the land.
