One of the many activities pursued by RC Silves are fellowship walks. On the 8 February a small group gathered on the spectacular cliffs of Falésia to walk the beach and return by the cliff tops.

The striking cliffs of Praia da Falésia near Albufeira are the result of a long geological process shaped by sedimentation, erosion, and tectonic activity.

They are an impressive example of how weathering and erosion shape sedimentary landscapes over millions of years. Their striking colors and steep formations are due to differences in mineral composition and the ongoing geological and climatic processes. The combination of red, orange, white, and darker layers creates the stunning contrast that makes this coastline so visually striking. The views from the cliff tops are not for the faint hearted.

If you would like to be notified of any walks in the future please contact our Master of Ceremonies (MOC.rotarysilves@gmail.com) There is a small charge of 5€ the proceeds go to RC Silves projects. All walks are at our own risk.
