Rota Vicentina, along the southern trails
Not all the Algarve's south coast is massively occupied!
There are some precious areas where one can walk freely and get immersed in nature. And this is the perfect tour for it! Discover the secrets of the southwestern coast of the Algarve by doing a self-guided walk between Lagos and Carrapateira, discovering the Natural Park “Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina” and the south part of Rota Vicentina track. This walk will match the future extension of Rota Vicentina to Lagos!
Set off on an adventure and marvel at the views over the sea and at the huge natural and cultural heritage of this area. Along the way you will contemplate the immense blue sea and the colorful geology of the slopes and cliffs, some of them volcanic. You will get across through wild beaches, observe some remains of historical heritage (e.g. ruins of Figueira fortress and Almadena), watch some birds from the region, namely the Peregrine Falcon or the Blue Rock-thrush, visit the southwest point of Europe – the Cape S. Vincent – and walk along the west coast, one of the most beautiful of Europe. We add special places to stay, cozy and comfortable small hotels and guesthouses, and also a great opportunity to taste some local and traditional food! Join us and get into a unknown natural Algarve!
