One of the most charming ways to reach the beautiful Praia do Barril in the Algarve is by hopping on this delightful mini train. Originally used by tuna fishermen to transport goods across the Ria Formosa, this narrow-gauge railway now carries beachgoers along a scenic 1-kilometer route from Pedras d’el Rei to the coast. With its vintage look and leisurely pace, the ride offers a nostalgic touch and a fun experience for all ages. This blog post explores the story behind the train, its unique role in local history, and why it’s the perfect start to your beach day adventure.
