Hike the Rota Vicentina in Portugal

Follow the most scenic section of the coastal Fisherman’s Trail, taking in panoramic views of Portugal’s cliffs, beaches and ocean as you walk. At the end of each day’s hike, maybe unwind on the sandy shore or take a quick dip.

Delight in Portugal’s bountiful coastline and indulge in a fresh seafood lunch in the village of Almograve with ingredients from the local fish market.

Walk to Capela de Nossa Senhora do Mar – a small chapel overlooking the ocean – and watch the sunset over the region, maybe with a homemade picnic.

Look for burrows and footprints of Egyptian mongooses, beech martens and otters in the sand dunes as you walk along the ancient trail in the southwest of Portugal.

Hike to Cabo de Sao Vicente – mainland Europe’s southwestern most point. Hear stories about the area’s maritime and local history from your local leader.
