PR 20

Vereda do Jardim do Mar

ClosedLast checked October 26, 2026

The cliff path from Prazeres down to the church square in Jardim do Mar, 1.9 km falling from 530 m to 35 m. IFCN grades it easy and allows an hour and a half. Like its neighbour PR 19 it is a one way descent, so the return is by road.
