No need to bring a tent and sleeping bag, as there are some good accommodation possibilities on the edge of the old pilgrim route. However, boarding houses and legalised private accommodation are only available in very limited numbers.

Tourism a la Camino de Santiago de Compostela still has no chance in the interior of the Algarve, but nature-friendly walking does. On the Via-Algarviana there are some good hotels: in the villages of Alcoutim, Alte, Caldas de Monchique and Vila do Bispo.

Unfortunately, there are no campsites along the whole route. But anyone wanting to sleep in their tent has to bear in mind that wild camping is forbidden - so you'll have to ask the landowner for permission to camp.

Quinta do Maranhão is located in the area of Maranhão, Bensafrim/Lagos. It is a family farm with a farmhouse, leisure areas, vegetable garden, fruit trees and dryland orchard. Throughout the history of four generations, it has been inhabited by several families and has passed through many phases, always having agriculture as its main activity.

Recently, Quinta do Maranhão started a new cycle. In recent years it has strengthened the agricultural side with the reconversion to organic farming, with the presence in Levante Market and Viv'o Mercado in Lagos and with an ordering system (D. Hortaliça). In 2019 it opened the doors of its houses to guests seeking to develop a differentiated tourist offer in the modality of Agrotourism. From an ecological, educational and community perspective, combining the knowledge of the old with new knowledge, we guide our action by the principles of Ecology, promoting biodiversity, sustainability, well-being and healthy interaction of all elements of the ecosystem.
