For me, Stingy Nomads offer the most expert advice on Europe’s best coastal trail.
They recommend Porto Covo to Vila Nova de Milfontes for those who want to walk just one day on the famed 230 km/143 mile Fishman’s Trail, just one part of the longer Rota Vicentina routes.
- Distance – 19 km/11.8 mi
- Time – 5h 10min.
- Ascent – 278 m
- Descent – 292 m
- Difficulty level – 3 out of 5 it was a short walking day but most of the time you walk on dunes sometimes ankle-deep in the sand.
Based on Stingy Nomads advice, I started in Porto Covo and hiked 4 days to Zambujeira do Mar.
If you have the time, take the ferry from Milfontes and keep heading south.
