Costa Vicentina Natural Park self-guided hike tour

Experience the beauty of Portugal's southwest coast on
a journey where the wild meets the serene. The Costa Vicentina combines the
romance of the Alentejo with the Algarve's most unspoilt coastline - nature,
authenticity and over 300 days of sunshine make it a haven for nature lovers.
Step onto the Fishermen's Trail and experience the Atlantic breeze, golden
sands and rugged cliffs. This ancient path, carved by time and the tides, takes
you close to the sea. Your journey begins in Porto Covo, a charming Alentejo
village where life moves to the steady beat of tradition. Follow the coastline
to Arrifana Beach, a famous Algarve destination framed by dramatic cliffs and
sapphire waters. Along the way, discover the soul of the region: stories of
fishermen and sailors, flavours of sea and land, and the warmth of people whose
lives are intertwined with the coast. Legends, folklore and traditions await
you. Choose your route—shorter for ease or
longer for a challenge. Feeling strong on your calves? Take the longer path and
uncover more of this extraordinary region. After all, it’s your way!
