The Rota Vicentina

The Rota Vicentina is a set of long-distance hiking paths in southwest Portugal. The Historical Way, which is part of the Camino Portugues, is 231 kilometers in length. The Fisherman's Route is 120 kilometers along spectacular shoreline segments between Porto Covo and Cape St. Vincent. The Circular Routes add another 89 km to the main routes.
