Traverse the Atlantic coastline of Portugal to reveal a landscape of deserted beaches, fishing villages and dramatic cliffs. The Rota Vicentina is a long-distance footpath which opened in 2013 and represents a successful eco-tourism initiative to develop low impact tourism in a relatively untouched region of Portugal. The trail connects Cape St Vincent, Portugal's most south-westerly point, to the village of Odeceixe, where it splits into two trails; the Historical Way which heads inland and the Fishermen's Trail which follows the coast to Porto Covo. This trip follows the Fishermen's Trail from Porto Covo to Odeceixe. To the south of the bustling capital of Lisbon awaits a contrasting landscape of wild beauty, where tourists rarely visit despite endless beaches and authentic fishing villages. This is the Alentejo region, covering a third of Portugal's land mass but just 4% of its population. Following this dramatic coast where wildflowers and butterflies keep company with just a handful of hikers, there is ample opportunity to take a swim or a rest break overlooking the endless ocean. In the evening, enjoy carefully handpicked accommodation where your hosts take pride in the cuisine and culture of the region and where delicious seafood and delectable wine is standard.

Follow the Levadas to discover the dramatic and rugged mountain scenery on the island of Madeira. Our team have devised a walking itinerary that exemplifies the best that Madeira has to offer. Traverse the terraced hillsides and follow local trails and ‘levadas’ through the peaceful, idyllic countryside and ultimately reach the island’s highest peak (Pico Ruivo, 1862 metres). Stay at a mix of 4* and smaller traditional properties in beautiful surroundings and learn more about the island through our detailed route notes.
Closer to Africa than Europe, the Portuguese island of Madeira is blessed with a mild and equable climate all year round. Volcanic in origin, Madeira’s rugged interior rises abruptly to over 1800 metres, with forests of fragrant pine, eucalyptus and laurel flanking its jagged peaks. You will find colourful flowers and trees in bloom at all times of the year but the island is ideal for a walking holiday for another reason: its elaborate network of ‘levadas’ (irrigation channels), which wind their way across gullies and steep slopes to more than 2000km/1250 miles of channels and over 40km/25 miles of tunnels.
*An extra day is recommended in the bustling little capital of Funchal so that you will have time to visit a Madeira wine lodge, explore the colourful markets and the famous botanical gardens, enjoy the superb fish restaurants or spend more time at the picturesque Monte neighbourhood. Another extra day can be requested in Santana where you can enjoy a beautiful walk along the Levada do Caldeirao Verde.

Lee | Traveled in December
A great week exploring the South West coast of Portugal. Walks were varied and well set out. Our tour leader, Kathleen, was excellent. Relaxed, informative and knowledgeable. Hotel was very good, with large rooms and a good breakfast choice.
John Miller | Traveled in December
Cristina was an amazing tour guide and we couldn't have asked for a better day. She picked us up right on time, and the whole day was so well organized and catered to making everything as easy as possible for us. Cristina made sure to give us plenty of history of the places that we were going, and was very clear regarding where she would be waiting for us after each stop. Her recommendation for lunch was great as well. Thank you for everything!
Kay S | Traveled in December
Loved the itinerary. Accomodation was fabulous and included lots of surprises. Just one small suggestion, would have been great to commence the tour the night before so we could meet and greet everyone before setting off on the tour. Would have liked to see a little more of Lisbon
Anonymous | Traveled in December
This is a great week's walking with a lot of variety in the walks covered. The hotels are generally of a good standard and the food was good and varied, with plenty of fresh fish and salads.
ANWESHA H. | Traveled in December
Our Guide Javier was the best in the trip along with the places that we travelled. He has the exact knowledge of each place and explained the history with so much enthusiasm. 100 on 100 for Javier. Also please change the duration stay in Barcelona and Valencia and increase by 1 more day as they are beautiful places to visit, we did not get time to explore the place completely.
Ms. Sierra A. | Traveled in December
Danny was amazing. She had such a positive attitude, was full of energy and was incredibly knowledgeable. Best of all she sang Fado for us and her voice rivaled those on stage. I would absolutely recommend Danny as a guide.
