Fishermen's Trail - The most beautiful coastal hike in Portugal

Hosted by

Anna

Guided trip
TranslateMachine Translated
The fishing trail along the Atlantic Ocean and the southwest coast of Portugal is 226.5 km long and follows the routes traditionally used by the inhabitants and local fishermen to get to the beaches and fishing spots. The protected Costa Alentejana, with its rugged rocky coastline, endless deserted sandy beaches, small coves, lagoons, sleepy fishing villages and diverse dunes, is one of the best preserved coastal regions in southern Europe. Largely undiscovered by tourists, you can still find almost untouched stretches of land with great biodiversity. We follow the fishermen's path on the stretch from Porto Covo to Carrapateira, directly along the Atlantic coast on old fishermen's paths that are only accessible on foot. A spectacular and unforgettable cliff walk in a small group with overnight stays in original fishing villages in cozy inns with double occupancy. Included in the price: - 9 nights in cozy inns with double room occupancy. - Bus trip Lisbon - Porto Covo - Bus trip Carrapateira - Lisbon - Half board (breakfast and dinner) - Multilingual tour guide - Complete organization of the tour from/to Lisbon Additional costs: - Snacks during the walking days - Private insurances (travel health, travel cancellation, travel liability and mountain rescue insurance) Free health insurance for Germans and Austrians via JoinMyTrip / Allianz - Luggage transport - possible for an extra charge if required - Personal belongings - Any costs incurred due to last minute cancellations or delays - Any additional costs incurred due to itinerary changes at the request of the participants - Gratuities - International flight to/from Lisbon If you have any questions, feel free to use the Q&A feature - I look forward to your messages!
