Circular hiking route through the protected landscape between Querença and Tôr with 2.5 miles. Privileged place to observe the riverside habitat and rural landscapes.
The Benémola fountain is a spring of water that appears next to a small stream, in a place that, due to its beauty, had received several landscaping arrangements and frameworks. The "eye" of the spring, when with all its vitality, bubbles below the rocks, in a small lake located next to the stream.
Spring
The hiking trail allows you to walk the dirt tracks and trails located along the small water course in a circular path located in the middle of the Algarve barrocal, more specifically in the Union of Parishes of Querença, Tôr and Benafim, in Loulé.

Being circular, the visitor can start the route in any place, however, at the entrance of the dirt road that leads to Benémola Fountain there is a small parking lot, close to an old lime kiln. You can start here and follow the dirt road. It is also possible to take the car along this path to a second parking lot, located closer to the fountain.
