Arrival – From Faro - Casas Novas de Palmeira

Arrival – From Faro
By car:
Leave the airport and take the A22 in the direction Lisboa/Portimão/Albufeira. Don’t take the A2 turn off
but stay on the A22 in the direction Portimão/Lagos/Aljezur.
The motorway ends after about 75 km. Take the second exit off the roundabout to take the EN120,
direction Aljezur/Sines. Continue on this road for about 23 km so you´re passing through Aljezur.
Leave Aljezur at the main road and keep on driving north, it´s about 30 minutes from here. You pass
Rogil first and then you come to Maria Vinagre. Shortly after the tiny restaurant (right hand) and the bus
station (left hand) you turn right in the direction Carrascalinho. After about 1 km you take a left in the
direction Zambujeira do Baixo. Just follow the road that gets kind of windy after a while. After about 5
km the paved road ends turning into a particulary rough asphalted dirt track. Follow this for about 4 km
where you hit the proper paved road again. Leave this road after about 1 km and turn left over the bridge
in the direction São Teotónio. Now follow the road up the hill for about 2-3 km and watch carefully to see
our sign „Casas Novas de Palmeira“ on the left. Turn left here and just follow the roadsigns for about 500
metres.
The dirt track in the direction Zambujeira do Baixo usually is in a pretty good condition and easy passable
with a rental car.
However if you doesn´t want to get your car dusty or are concerned about the wear on your tyres don‘t
turn right at Maria Vinagre but keep following the road straight ahead for about 25 km. You pass
Odeceixe half-way on the left as well as São Teotónio about 15 km later on the right but continue driving
on the main road. If you pass the orange „Galp“ gas station as well as the roundabout you turn right at the
next street (direction São Teotónio).
After about 1 km you take a left at the turning to Relva Grande and follow the road for 10 km.
When you pass Relva Grande keep following the road for 5,6 km and watch carefully to see our sign
„Casas Novas de Palmeira“ on the right. Take a right here, keep right and just follow the roadsigns for
about 500 metres.
