We went in early Sept, so warm enough for walking and a swim in the sea but not hot. Hotel in Sagres very good and lots of good restaurants nearby. Two walks on the west coast and three on the south coast. All walks relatively flat with short ups and downs. Really stunning and interesting geography and geology.
Walk leader organised supplies for picnic lunches.

Walk the quieter trails between historical Coimbra and Porto on stage two of the Camino Portugués. The second stage of our self guided walking route along the Portuguese Camino between Lisbon and Santiago takes you from the historic and lively university city of Coimbra through vineyards, woodlands and villages to Porto, set on the banks of the Douro River and famous for its port wine production. Throughout the walk there are ample reminders of past pilgrims and the route offers many insights into the religious significance of the Camino.
