The walk

The Fishermen's Trail follows the paths locals used to reach the rocks and coves of the Alentejo coast. Much of it is soft sand on the cliff top, so the distances feel longer than they look. You sleep in small guesthouses in the fishing villages along the way.

How hard is it

Moderate to hard. The sand is tiring, but there are no big climbs.

Included

  • Every night's room, breakfast and dinner
  • Your bags moved each morning
  • A Passo guide, or maps and an app for the self-guided dates
