01 // The Start
Begin at the spiritual center. The silence among the orange trees and the grandeur of the Cathedral create the perfect setting to start the journey.
02 // The Wall
Walk through the narrow streets to the east gate. Legend has it that this is where the troops of King Afonso III rested after the conquest.
03 // THE END
End your walk on the promenade atop the southern walls. It is the locals' cherished spot for gazing out over the Ria Formosa as evening falls.
Schedule your visit and enjoy a full day of coworking—no strings attached, and no credit card required.
