2019 Rota Vicentina, Portugal
Along the west coast of Portugal, you can set off to discover Rota Vicentina. You will be accompanied by the ocean between jagged cliffs and, at times, you will be presented with seemingly endless fields of wild flowers. This long hiking path stretches for nearly 400 km along one of the most beautiful and best preserved coastal areas of Europe. There are two main trails and eight circular routes to amaze us with their wonderfully diverse landscapes.
The “Historical way”, at 230km, is the longest route and goes from Santiago do Cacém to the Cape of São Vicente. It is a rural trail, with 12 stages through forest tracks, towns and villages with centuries of history.
The “Fishermen’s trail”, in turn, hugs the coast for the 125km between Porto Covo and Cape of São Vicente, using paths that give access to beaches and fishing grounds.
