Rota Vicentina
We discovered one of the most stunningly beautiful stretches of European coast when we walked the Rota Vicentina. A trail through Alentejo and the Algarve, it winds down to the most south westerly point of mainland Europe.
As a trail it has everything, from beach to cliff to fishing village, all phenomenally unspoilt.
We wrote a 3-part Rota Vicentina trail journal, and of course a complete walk guide & our best bits to give you a full flavour of the walk.
One of our favourites!
