Bus timetable Loulé - Parragil - Benafim - Alte

The information has been obtained from printed timetables and other local sources (like taking the bus) and is given in good faith.
Bus service until further notice.
The route / line number may not always be shown on the front of the bus!

This limited service is shown to highlight what you cannot do by bus in this rather remote area.
However it is a scenic ride up into the hills if you dare. Maybe a walk one way?
