The Fishermen's Trail is the most spectacular part of the Rota Vicentina. I walked from Porto Covo to Odeceixe in four days.

The stages

  1. Porto Covo → Vila Nova de Milfontes (20 km)
  2. Vila Nova de Milfontes → Almograve (15 km)
  3. Almograve → Zambujeira do Mar (22 km)
  4. Zambujeira do Mar → Odeceixe (18 km)
Stork nest on a sea rock near Cavaleiro
The storks of Cavaleiro are the only ones in the world that nest on sea cliffs.

Before you go, check the official Rota Vicentina site for trail conditions.
