Hello Friends,<\/p>\n

In October 2025, right before I moved to Cambodia, my sister Brenna and I walked Portugal\u2019s Fisherman\u2019s Trail \u2014 nine days end to end, about 75 kilometres of clifftop sand track down the wild Alentejo coast. It was harder than the elevation profile suggests, because most of it is soft sand and there is no shade. It was also one of the best things I have ever done. This is the index to the whole trip, plus the wider Portugal planning I have put together since.<\/p>\n

The Fisherman\u2019s Trail, Day by Day<\/h2>\n

The Rota Vicentina\u2019s Fisherman\u2019s Trail runs along the cliffs of southwest Portugal, and the only real way to tell it is one hard, beautiful walking day at a time. Start with the complete guide for the overview, then follow the days. The official Rota Vicentina<\/a> site has the full route maps if you want to plan your own walk.<\/p>\n

The Algarve, After the Trail<\/h2>\n

When the walking was done, we came off the coast and into the Algarve proper \u2014 vineyards inland, a last day by the sea in Lagos, and the long train back up to Lisbon before my flight out to Cambodia.<\/p>\n

Planning the Rest of Portugal<\/h2>\n

Our trip was the trail and the Algarve \u2014 I did not get proper time in Lisbon, Porto, or the interior. So the guides below are research rather than lived experience, put together for a return trip and written to actually be useful. When I get back to walk the rest of it, they will turn into first-hand write-ups like the days above.<\/p>\n

Obrigado<\/h2>\n

The Fisherman\u2019s Trail is the kind of trip that stays in your legs for a week and in your head for years. If you are thinking of walking it, do \u2014 and if you have questions about the route, the logistics, or which day nearly broke me, reach out. Cheers.<\/p>\n

And that is the whole walk, coast to coast \u2014 nine days, seventy-five kilometres, one very sunburned pair of siblings, and a stretch of Portugal I will be thinking about for a long time.<\/p>\n
