This is a long but easy walk with no great ups and downs, through numerous vineyards, orchards, farmland and woods, past the occasional farm building and small hamlet. You are in unspoilt countryside with practically no road walking, and you will find lots of orchids in springtime. As many of the tracks are used by farm vehicles and horses, they could be muddy after rain.
