Rota Vicentina & Alentejo

Wild Atlantic coast & rural splendor

The Rota Vicentina combines the wild beauty of the Atlantic coast with the historic charm of the Alentejo interior. On the famous Fishermen's Trail, you'll experience vast landscapes and secluded sandy beaches, traverse expansive nature reserves, and stay overnight in picturesque fishing villages. From Vila Nova de Milfontes, your route leads along the impressive coastline, offering ever-changing views of the rugged Atlantic. From Odeceixe, you'll hike inland along the historic trail through rolling hills, ancient cork oak forests, and traditional villages where time seems to have stood still. Discover remote paths once used by shepherds and pilgrims and enjoy authentic Portugal.

Hiking in Portugal is a pleasure year-round – when it's still far too cold in Central Europe, you'll already be lacing up your hiking boots in the south. On the Atlantic coast or on the flower-filled island of Madeira , relaxation and activity go  hand in hand on a hiking trip in Portugal .
