    A Gentle Donkey Visit

    Meet rescued donkeys in the hills, walk with them, and learn their part in rural life.

    Donkeys once carried everything in the Algarve hills. Today a few sanctuaries and small farms care for them and welcome visitors.

    Children brush, feed and walk alongside them while parents enjoy the quiet. It is slow, kind and often the highlight for younger travellers.

    What it can look like

    • Visit to a sanctuary or small farm
    • Brushing and feeding
    • Short walk with the donkeys
    • Countryside picnic
