Few trails capture the imagination quite like the Fishermen’s Trail. This long-distance walk is considered one of the most beautiful coastal walks in the world according to lists by Lonely Planet and National Geographic. Forget Portugal as just a sun destination and discover it as a walking destination. Okay, walking in the sun. The trail winds along the rugged coastline where you go from fishing village to fishing village. Sometimes challenging, as you have to walk through a lot of deep sand, but with the unique and rugged nature always by your side and the wild Atlantic Ocean to your right, it’s pure enjoyment.
The Fishermen’s Trail is part of the Rota Vicentina, a hiking network of 750 kilometers through the southwest of Portugal. You’ll also find the 263-kilometer-long Historical Way, which moves inland and takes you from Santiago do Cacém to Cabo de São Vicente. Additionally, numerous circular walks can be completed in a day. This makes the region suitable for both long-distance hikers and day walkers. Here you can find the complete guide for the Fishermen’s Trail.
