    Hiking

    The Royal Olive Tree, over 2,000 years old, from the village of Pedras D'el Rei in Tavira, is one of two specimens from the Algarve nominated for the European Tree of the Year 2022.

    In the case of the olive tree ( Olea europaea L. var. europaea ), now in Pedras d'El Rei, it was "planted in Roman times, witnessed the invasion of the Moors and the battles until their expulsion and was a witness to the foundation of Portugal".
