Itinerary

Day 1 Arrive at Sagres

Arrive at your hotel in the coastal town of Sagres. (Staying at Memmo Baleeira)

Day 2 Sagres to Pedralva

After a 30-minute transfer you'll start today's walk, following the Fishermen's Trail to the cliff tops and the glorious Amado beach. You'll make your way to Carrapateira - perhaps stop for a picnic lunch or sample one of the village's snack bars - before following the Rota Vicentina past one of the Algarve's best viewpoints, on your way to Pedralva. (Staying at Aldeia da Pedralva)

Day 3 At Pedralva

The choice is yours today. You could relax and explore this charming village or purchase some picnic supplies and follow one of our suggested walks! A cliff-top route takes you back to the beautiful Amado beach; you'll enjoy breathtaking views out to sea, with the return leg offering valley and forest views as far as the Serra de Monchique. A shorter walk takes you along the Marreiros plateau where you'll enjoy far-reaching views over the rolling countryside below. (Staying at Aldeia da Pedralva)

Day 4 Pedralva to Vila Do Bispo

After an enchanting walk through pine and eucalyptus forest you can choose from two routes. One follows the Rota Vicentina and pretty meadows to Vila do Bispo, whilst the longer route makes a horseshoe loop into the Costa Vicentina Natural Park, to the Praia da Barriga (Barriga beach), set at the end of a long and lush valley and backed by dramatic cliffs. (Staying at Hotel Mira Sagres)

Day 5 At Vila Do Bispo

Today you could wander the quaint streets of the village or choose to follow one of our suggested walks. Perhaps take in the cliffs and viewpoints above Vila do Bispo, or walk through a landscape of rolling hills and gentle valleys, through the village of Raposeira, to the Guadalupe Chapel which is thought to be one of the only Knights Templar buildings left in Portugal. (Staying at Hotel Mira Sagres)

Day 6 Vila Do Bispo to Cabo De Sao Vicente/Sagres

The undoubted highlight of today is making your way to the south-western tip of Europe - Cabo de Sao Vicente. Following country lanes and coastal trails, you'll enjoy some superb scenery en route and feel on top of the world when you arrive! Take a tour of the lighthouse, visit the museum, or relax with a drink in the bar before we transfer you (5 mins) back to Sagres. (Staying at Pousada de Sagres)

Day 7 At Sagres

If you can tear yourself away from the hotel pool, why not take a walk to the Ponta da Atalaia and Ponta da Baleeira headland today? You'll experience wonderful views over Sagres' impressive fortress and the Mareta and Martinhal beaches. Alternatively, head straight to Martinhal Beach for a stroll on the sand and a drink at one of the bars! (Staying at Pousada de Sagres)

Day 8 Sagres to Lagos

Today's walk has some fabulous scenery! Cross Martinhal Beach and the tiny Praia dos Rebolinhos and follow a route through rolling countryside to the cliff-top headland above Praia do Zavial from where a transfer will take you on to Lagos where you stay for your final three nights. (Staying at Rio Marina)

Day 9 At Lagos

It's just a 20-minute walk from your hotel to the Old Town of Lagos. Here you'll find the 14th century walls protecting a tangle of cobbled streets full of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, along with ornate churches, some interesting museums and the pride and joy of Lagos - its bustling marina! (Staying at Rio Marina)

Day 10 Burgau to Lagos

It's stunning scenery and seascapes all the way today as you follow one of the Algarve's most beautiful coastal walking trails. A transfer takes you to one to the picturesque fishing village of Burgau from where you walk to Praia da Luz with its whitewashed houses and picture-perfect beaches - perhaps stop for lunch at one of the bars or restaurants or enjoy a beachside picnic before continuing back to Lagos. (Staying at Rio Marina)

Day 11 Leave Lagos

The tour ends after breakfast in Sagres.
