Discover the Algarve's hidden beaches along the unspoiled west coast from Zambujeira do Mar to Cape St Vincent. 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 trail south from Odeceixe to Cape St Vincent and a section of the Fishermen's trail. Experience the renowned beauty of the Algarve coastline well away from the tourist areas on this inspiring walk along enchanting sections of the Atlantic coast. As you make your way towards the south-western most point on the European continent by foot you'll pass idyllic beaches, sand dunes and dramatic steep cliffs that see surprisingly few visitors compared to the busier resort based beaches. The walk has been carefully researched and will be appreciated by those who want to enjoy one of Europe's most celebrated coastal scenes but stay away from the crowds. Starting in the north the route will have you trekking through the Sudoeste Alentejano en Costa Vicentina Natural Park to Cape Saint Vincent. The trip will be an assault on the senses with tasty regional specialties and good wine to enjoy, the aroma of eucalyptus and thyme mixed with the fresh sea air, a wide variety of Mediterranean flora and fauna to spot and of course plenty of time to enjoy the traditionally relaxed Portuguese lifestyle.

Once a powerful kingdom that dominated the world sea routes, Portugal today is one of the most welcoming and peaceful countries in Europe, though the legacy of its former wealth can still be found in its historic cities. Starting from colourful Porto, the second city and a Unesco site, our journey follows the verdant valleys and rolling hills of the Douro wine region, before heading to the lesser-known interior, where we visit Coimbra, the Unesco Batalha monastery, medieval Óbidos before reaching Lisbon, one of the most enchanting capital cities in the world.

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.

Reviews of our Portugal Tours for October
Feedback from guests who toured Portugal during October.
Anonymous | Traveled in October
We had an amazing experience doing the El Camino with them. All the arrangements went very smoothly and the accommodation was absolutely superb. It was great to arrive after a long walk, and see our luggage sitting in the reception area! Highly recommend using this company, we will do it again!
Carrie | Traveled in October
My fellow travelers made this trip a wonderful experience. Some of the hotel accommodations should be reviewed for comfort/sound issues and breakfast options. Also recommend that guides on this excursion should be trained in first aid. We had an incident on a hike and luckily we had a paramedic on this trip with us. This was the first time our trip leader led this particular adventure. She did a great job of adjusting to circumstances and helped to make the trip enjoyable.
Anne | Traveled in October
This tour with some surprise stops definitely highlighted Portugal. I love that there is always the desire to support local and family run establishments. That's very important to me. I was in constant awe of my surroundings when exploring on my own or with the CEO. Our CEO Iri was definitely the backbone of the tour.
TJN | Traveled in October
Bennie was exceptional. Drivers were exceptional. Hotel Staff were exceptional. Hotel was good, yet Lack of ac required open window. Street is noisy late into the night and early in the morning. Not sure about communication between Explore and Guide. Our departure was confirmed 10 days prior but was not scheduled day prior to. All worked out because Bennie worked it out. Pleased with Explore.
Douglas | Traveled in October
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour as our 1st G Adventure trip and our 1st trip to Portugal. We looked forward to waking up every morning to see our day unfold, every day just seemed to top the previous day. We enjoyed the history and incredible architecture we saw and all of the wonderful wine we consumed that makes the Douro Valley famous.
Wendy | Traveled in October
Wow, this was our first G Adventure experience and it will definitely not be our last! We loved the small group dynamic, enjoyed the history and architecture in each of the unique areas we visited, the hiking was very approachable (we're not seasoned hikers), the views and vistas were pretty spectacular, the food was local, delicious & diverse and of course the Douro wine was wonderful :) We look forward to exploring other countries with G Adventure.
