Salt wind pushes inland as you step off a low dune and onto a narrow track carved where waves once pressed the cliff. The Fishermen's Path—Caminho dos Pescadores—runs like a seam between ocean and scrub, leading you from Porto Covo through Vila Nova de Milfontes, Zambujeira do Mar and on to the Atlantic edge at Cabo de São Vicente.

10–11 days.
Suitable for hikers with regular cardio fitness who can handle 9–24 km days and short steep sections; not for those with serious mobility limits.
Yes—daily transfer of personal luggage up to 20 kg per person is included so you only carry a daypack.
Many sections follow well-used coastal tracks and Rota Vicentina signage, but bring a map/GPS for less obvious stretches and village approaches.
Overnights are in selected 3–4* hotels or guesthouses, typically double rooms with breakfast included.
Spring and fall offer mild temperatures and migration activity; summer is hotter and busier, while winter can be windy and wet.
The path follows ancient coastal routes used by fishermen and pilgrims; some cliffs and rock formations show deposits from ancient sea-level changes.
Much of the route lies within the Sudoeste Alentejano and Costa Vicentina Natural Park; stay on trails to protect fragile dune vegetation and breeding birds.
