Travel with me

The Fishermen's Trail 11 days, 280 km A beautiful and tranquil hike on the Portuguese coast. A very accessible and beginner-friendly trail allows everyone to come and see the wilder side of the coastline. You can easily come and just even do day hikes as every stage begins and ends in a town or a village. We did the hike on 2nd half of September and the temperatures were still quite hot. At the same, the sea was enjoyable and allowed for refreshing swims. I would even recommend doing the hike a little later in the season when it is a bit cooler. Algarve is not cheap though. A price for a double room began from 60-70 euros per night. To be fair, as we like to have flexibility we also did not make reservations in advance. For affordability, there are official campsites normally a little away from the trail as well. The price was around 20 € per night for a tent with 2 people. It is recommended to use the official campsites as wild camping is prohibited in Portugal. That said, we managed to sneak in 2 nights away from the official sites. Pack up early and leave no trace of course. 😉 -> 2 nights guesthouse -> 6 nights campsite -> 2 nights wild camping The trail is not difficult in a traditional sense, as there are no mountains and has access to facilities. But as most of it is in soft sand, pushing through the sand in the heat of the sun with no shade makes it moderately challenging.

The Atlantic coast of Portugal can be as rough as it can be tranquil and relaxing. The area is popular among sunseekers, surfers and holidaymakers for a reason. Each day on hiking the Fishermens' Trail we encountered tens of pristine and quiet beaches. Even the more popular destinations are very chill and have spaces for calm and private being. Hiking at the end of September meant chilly but still manageable water temperatures. What a luxury to let the feet and body recover in refreshing water after a 25+ km hiking day. But then again, the beach is easier for relaxing than hiking/walking. Going along the coast also meant striding long distances through soft sand while being exposed to direct sunlight. Remeber, there is barely any vegetation and if, then very low. #fishermenstrail #rotavicentina #portugal #hikeportugal #hikingportugal #beaches #bestbeachintheworld #portugal #dronephotography #visitportugal #travelportugal

The Portuguese coast can be rough and rugged. After walking more than 270 kilometers by the sea, we managed to experience many different sides of the extremes. The high seas barge in with their energy, crashing into the dry land, and creating high and steep cliffs. When the western side of the coast is more like a desert with very low vegetation (if any), then the southern coast also boasts some greener terrain. You would think that walking several days by the same coast is similar and becomes numbing, then in reality each day on the Fishermens' Trail brought something new and exciting each day. #fishermenstrail #portugal #hikingportugal #hiking #rotavicentina #trekking #dronephotography #visitportugal #travelportugal

Sometimes life brings you to places that will stay in your mind for longer. We happened to find one of those places at the end of 3rd day of hiking on the Fishermens' Trail. . . #hiking #camping #portugal #fishermenstrail #sunset
