Rota Vicentina is a collection of cycling and hiking trails in southwest Portugal. When you&#8217;re exploring these trails, you&#8217;ll see some of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/en\/portugal-en\/what-to-do-in-the-algarve\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"37656\">the most beautiful places in the Algarve<\/a> and Alentejo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two well-known trails part of Rota Vicentina, these are the Historical Way (which is 263 kilometers long) and the Fishermen&#8217;s Trail. Sometimes the two trails intersect. In addition, there er several fun loops that you can explore as a day hike.

It is wise to avoid hiking during the summer months. There is little shade and it can get very warm. I would recommend hiking the trail between September and May. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, pay attention to the weather forecasts when you want to go because it can be very dangerous when it rains. There&#8217;s a chance that parts of the trail wash away and in some places, the rocks can become very slippery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I myself hiked part of the Fishermen&#8217;s Trail on sunny days in November, December, and January and those months were perfect in terms of weather. The disadvantage is that many restaurants and accommodations are closed in the winter months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-the-fishermen-s-trail-a-difficult-hike\">Is the Fishermen&#8217;s Trail a difficult hike?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Fishermens-Trail-tussen-Salema-en-Sagres-min.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Fishermens-Trail-tussen-Salema-en-Sagres-min.jpg\" alt=\"Fishermen&#039;s Trail between Salema and Sagres\" class=\"wp-image-29554\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Fishermens-Trail-tussen-Salema-en-Sagres-min.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Fishermens-Trail-tussen-Salema-en-Sagres-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Fishermens-Trail-tussen-Salema-en-Sagres-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Fishermens-Trail-tussen-Salema-en-Sagres-min-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Fishermens-Trail-tussen-Salema-en-Sagres-min-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Fishermens-Trail-tussen-Salema-en-Sagres-min-227x152.jpg 227w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Fishermens-Trail-tussen-Salema-en-Sagres-min-143x96.jpg 143w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Fishermens-Trail-tussen-Salema-en-Sagres-min-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Fishermens-Trail-tussen-Salema-en-Sagres-min-385x257.jpg 385w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Fishermens-Trail-tussen-Salema-en-Sagres-min-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The section between Sagres and Salema is the most difficult, but the views are gorgeous!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That differs per section. At the start and endpoint of every stage, there is a sign that clearly indicates the level of difficulty. Personally, I usually think difficult hikes are not that bad, but if it says difficult on the Fishermen&#8217;s Trail, you can certainly expect a difficult hike! For example, I found the stage between Salema and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/en\/portugal-en\/things-to-do-in-sagres\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"37454\">Sagres<\/a> quite tough, I regularly had to climb the rocks using my hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-navigate-the-fishermen-s-trail\">How to navigate the Fishermen&#8217;s Trail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large columns-2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Navigatie-Fishermens-Trail-1-min.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Navigatie-Fishermens-Trail-1-min.jpg\" alt=\"Navigation Fishermens Trail\" class=\"wp-image-29557\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Navigatie-Fishermens-Trail-1-min.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Navigatie-Fishermens-Trail-1-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Navigatie-Fishermens-Trail-1-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Navigatie-Fishermens-Trail-1-min-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Navigatie-Fishermens-Trail-1-min-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Navigatie-Fishermens-Trail-1-min-227x152.jpg 227w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Navigatie-Fishermens-Trail-1-min-143x96.jpg 143w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Navigatie-Fishermens-Trail-1-min-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Navigatie-Fishermens-Trail-1-min-385x257.jpg 385w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Navigatie-Fishermens-Trail-1-min-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Fishermen&#8217;s Trail is well marked with signs and blue-green markings. These are often painted on stones, so look down regularly to not miss any markings. In addition, you can also find navigation files per section on the<a aria-label=\"de website van Rota Vicentina (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/rotavicentina.com\/en\/walking\/fishermens-trail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Rota Vicentina website<\/a>, such as a GPS file (I use the <a aria-label=\"GPX Viewer Pro (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.vecturagames.android.app.gpxviewer.pro&amp;hl=nl&amp;gl=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GPX Viewer Pro<\/a> app for this). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you prefer a paper hiking guide?

It contains a description of the Historical Way and the Fishermen&#8217;s Trail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"transportation\">Transportation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do you get on the Fishermen&#8217;s Trail? The starting point S\u00e3o Torpes is near the city of Sines. Sines has good bus connections with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/en\/portugal-en\/top-things-to-do-in-lisbon\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"34659\">Lisbon<\/a> and Lagos. Unfortunately, there is no public transport from Sines to S\u00e3o Torpes, but you can take a taxi to S\u00e3o Torpes, which takes only 10-15 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I myself have used Uber a lot in Portugal and that&#8217;s pretty cheap. Keep in mind that there are not that many drivers in remote areas and small villages, so it might take some time before you can get one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lagos, the endpoint of the trail, is easily accessible by train (from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/en\/portugal-en\/things-to-do-in-faro\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"25076\">Faro<\/a>) and by bus from various places in Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, you can often also use public transport at the start or endpoint of a specific section. For example, I was able to do the last four sections as a day hike and traveled by bus from Lagos.

Often the route also runs through another village, where you can eat something. Pay attention to this, because this is not always the case and it is wise to bring (enough) food yourself for that section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please note a lot of restaurants close during the winter months (usually from the second week of November till February), so check your options if you&#8217;re planning on hiking the trail during those months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"accommodation\">Accommodation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most villages, there are several places where you can stay overnight. Accommodation is generally not that expensive in Portugal, you can find a great private room for as little as \u20ac 35 a night. You can also find beautiful luxury hotels (with a swimming pool!) for less than \u20ac100 per night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like to alternate between hostels, guesthouses, and more luxurious accommodations when hiking a long distance trail, I like to treat myself to something nice every now and then after a long day of hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s a list of all the villages and towns along the route with recommendations of great places to stay during your hike on the Fishermen&#8217;s Trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sines (near S\u00e3o Torpes)<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pt\/casa-do-medico-de-sao-rafael.en.html?aid=917606&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;label=fishermens-trail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">Casa do M\u00e9dico de S\u00e3o Rafael<\/a> \u2013 Spacious and bright rooms in a beautiful (very red) building on the coast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Porto Covo<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pt\/mute.en.html?aid=917606&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;label=fishermens-trail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">MUTE Hostel<\/a> is a beautiful design hostel with both private rooms and dormitories.

It is in a fantastic location in the center of the city.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are my tips for accommodations along the trail, but there are of course more options. I always check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/index.html?aid=917606?fishermens-trail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><strong>Booking.com<\/strong><\/a> if I need to book accommodation. Here you&#8217;ll find lots of possibilities and you immediately see the location of the accommodation. You probably want to stay as close to the trail as possible. It&#8217;s smart to book ahead since there are not a lot of options in each village when it comes to accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would you rather go camping? That is also possible, but keep in mind that there are almost no campgrounds along the route. You will then occasionally have to do some wild camping and that is officially not allowed in Portugal. It is often tolerated, but make sure you don&#8217;t pitch your tent too close to a town or city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"luggage-transport\">Luggage transportation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you not feel like carrying all your luggage and do you prefer to hike with a lighter bag?

This service makes sure that your luggage will be picked up in hotel A and they&#8217;ll take it to hotel B for you. It&#8217;s so easy! It costs 15 euros per bag per stage and every additional bag is 5 euros. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luggage transportation is available from February to June and September to November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-pack\">What to pack?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to pack when you&#8217;re hiking the Fisherman&#8217;s Trail? First things first, make sure to bring a good backpack. A 25 to 40-liter pack should be more than enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are some great packs for the Fishermen&#8217;s Trail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OyXBvh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\"><strong>Osprey Hikelite 32 Hiking Backpack<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Gregory-Mountain-Products-Daypack-Backpacks\/dp\/B099WSPKC9?pd_rd_w=gVLtD&amp;content-id=amzn1.sym.050c5573-f60d-41d9-9d25-5aed30c19b66&amp;pf_rd_p=050c5573-f60d-41d9-9d25-5aed30c19b66&amp;pf_rd_r=E1NK832GEEFAE7Y9SPX7&amp;pd_rd_wg=RGO8e&amp;pd_rd_r=f720d8e4-436a-43c6-b0dc-f39f6c95bf0f&amp;pd_rd_i=B099WSPKC9&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=travelwithc02-20&amp;linkId=55b9a4be2243aa34bbc6701c70c2965c&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Gregory Juno 30 Hiking Backpack<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3BkjtEv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Deuter Futura 27<\/a><\/strong> Hiking Backpack<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ok, you now have the perfect backpack for the Fishermen&#8217;s Trail.
