The Fisherman's Trail, Portugal - a 2026 walking guide
The Fisherman's Trail is a walking route in the south of Portugal. It's a part of the Rota Vicentina network. The trail is considered one of the most beautiful coastal routes in the world. The scenery along the route is breathtaking; rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, stunning lookout points, charming towns, blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and diverse wildlife. We were so impressed by the beauty of the area that after completing the trail decided to move to the south of Portugal.

Travel insurance
World Nomads’ mission is to support and encourage travelers to explore their boundaries. They offer simple and flexible travel insurance and safety advice to help you travel confidently.In which direction to walk?
You can walked the Fisherman's Trail south to north or north to south. The route is marked both ways. Some people prefer walking it south to north so they don't walk facing the sun. I suggest choosing the direction based on the time of the year. In spring it's better to walk south to north, it gets warmer earlier in the south. In fall north to south might be better due to the weather conditions.
Where does the trail start and end?
The start and end of the Fisherman's Trail depends on the chosen direction.
If you walk north to south then you start in S.Torpes Beach, 10 km north of Porto Covo and finish in Lagos. We started the walk in Porto Covo. I walked the 10 km from S.Torpes Beach to Porto Covo later and to be honest I didn't feel we missed out on anything by skipping it.
If you walk south to north then you start in Lagos, a popular beach town and finish in Porto Covo/S.Torpes Beach.
The most popular route options
| Porto Covo - Odeceixe | Porto Covo - Sagres | Porto Covo - Lagos | Sagres - Lagos |
| 76 km/47 mi 4 days | 191 km/118 mi 9-10 days | 230 km/142 mi 11-13 days | 63,5 km/40 mi 2-3 days |
Walking the entire trail from Porto Covo (S.Torpes Beach) to Lagos. The full length of the route is 230 km/142 mi. It takes 11-13 days to complete.
Starting in Porto Covo and finishing in Odeceixe. It's the original trail that later was extended to Cabo de Sao Vicente in Sagres and then to Lagos. The total distance is 76 km/47 mi. It takes 4 days to complete.
Starting in Porto Covo and finishing in Sagres. The extended version of the Fisherman's Trail. The total distance is 181 km/112 mi. You need 9-10 days to complete it.
Walking the last part of the trail from Sagres to Lagos. This part of the route was added later. The distance is 63,5 km/40 mi. One needs 2-3 days. To be honest this is our favorite part of the route because we live in Lagos and can easily do any part of it as a day hike.
Is the route well-marked?
Yes, the Fisherman's Trail is marked in both directions with small wooden poles with green and blue stipes. You can find these route markers everywhere along the route.

How difficult is the hike?
Like any multiday trail, the route is challenging. Some days you walk for many kilometers on the sand, and some days climb up and down the cliffs. Despite daily distances being relatively short don't underestimate the trail it has its difficulties.
If you don't have any previous hiking experience I would suggest doing a part of the Fisherman's Trail or having rest days in between. Using a luggage transfer service will make your walking easier. You can carry a day pack and your main luggage will be delivered to your hotel every day.
In my opinion, the easiest stages are the Salema to Luz and Luz to Lagos. The two shortest stages with stunning views. Both can be walked as day hikes. Walking from Lagos to Luz is an excellent day hike if you stay in Lagos.
What is the best part of the route?
The scenery on the Fisherman's Trail is spectacular from the start to the end. My favorite part of the route is between Sagres and Lagos. You get to see limestone cliffs, dramatic drops, charming towns, and amazing beaches. For the cliff views the part from Carrapateira to Vila do Bispo is one of the best.
Best guidebooks for the Fisherman's Trail
The official guidebook by the Rota Vicentina organization is the best one to use. You can buy it online or at one of the information offices along the route. In Proto Covo, you can purchase the guidebook and a route map at Papelaria O Correiro, Vasco da Gama Street 7b, (a block away from the church).
There is a Cicerone guidebook on the Rota Vicentina that has a lot of information on the trail that you can buy on Amazon.
Accommodation on the trail
Accommodation on the Fisherman's Trail wasn't a problem. We have a complete list of places to stay along the route.
Hostels, hotels, and guesthouses can be found in every town some places have more options some less. The campsites can be found in Porto Covo, Vila Nova de Milfontes, Zambujeira do Mar, Odeceixe, Aljezur, Sagres, and Salema.
The guesthouses/hostels on the route are quite small, they fill up quickly. If you're planning to walk it between June and September I recommend booking accommodation. Even if you're planning to camp at least contact campsites to find out how full they are.
When booking accommodation;
- check for the check-in time in most hotels it's quite late, around 3 pm.
- make sure your hotel is in the town itself and not 5 km outside of it
- find your place on Google.maps beforehand
Luggage delivery
It's possible to use a luggage transfer service on the Fisherman's Trail. Vicentina Transfers is a company that provides luggage delivery services on the trail. They deliver your luggage door to door between any accommodation along the route including campsites. It's between 15-20 Euros (depending on how many stages you book) per section for 1 piece of luggage.
The company provides only luggage transfer they don't do accommodation booking for you. Before you arrange the delivery you have to book your accommodation.
Read our detailed packing list for the Fisherman's Trail to make sure you pack the right gear.
The cost of walking the Fisherman's Trail
The cost depends on where you stay and what you eat. It can anything between 30 euros to 100 euros per day.
If you're planning to camp or stay in dormitories, cook or eat take away food budget 30 euros per person per day.
Staying in budget private rooms* and eating out once a day (not dinner) - budget 50-60 euros per person per day.
If you want to stay in upper class private rooms, eat in restaurants, and use luggage transfer then 100-150 euros per person per day is more or less what you'll spend.
*Keep in mind that the cost of accommodation is higher if you're a single traveler. A double/twin room split between two people work out cheaper per person than a single room.
Read our Fishermen's trail Cost Guide were we walk you through how much you can expect to spend so you can plan your adventure with confidence.
Accommodation
Accommodation prices vary a lot depending on the season with winter months being the cheapest and the summer months between June and September the highest. In summer you might pay double of what you pay offseason.
Camping
It is the most budget option. Prices vary depending on the season with July and August being the most expensive months. The main drawback is that you have to carry camping gear with you (tent, mattress, sleeping bag, cooking stuff, etc.) which adds a lot of weight to your backpack. The price for camping is between 10 to 15 Euros per person per night. Wild camping is not allowed on the Fisherman's Trail.
Hostels
A bed in a dormitory is another budget accommodation option on the Fisherman's Trail. You don't get hostels in every town but in most of them. The hostels are often fully booked in summer. To get a spot it's advisable to book a bed in advance. The price for a dorm bed is around 20-25 Euros depending on the season.
Hotels
A private room is the most comfortable accommodation option and sometimes a double room with a shared bathroom costs the same as two beds in a dormitory. Prices for a budget double room are from between 60 and 70 Euros. If you walk off-season between November and March it will be more or less the standard price. During the peak summer months the prices are higher.
Food
There are grocery stores and shops in every town on the route. If you're on a tight budget cooking is the best option. Try to book accommodation with a kitchen (most places we stayed had at least a microwave). Depending on what kind of stuff you buy shopping for 3 meals (lunch, dinner, and breakfast) costs between 10 and 12 Euros per person.
Restaurant prices are quite high in touristy areas. You can get cheaper meals at local restaurants. In most places on the trail you pay an average of 12 Euro for a dish, every time we went out for dinner we paid about 30 Euros pp. including drinks. Breakfast (toasted sandwich and coffee) you can get for 5-7 Euros.

The best time for hiking
The Fisherman's Trail is in the south of Portugal. It's never really cold here (only at night in winter) which means the route can be walked all year round.
We've walked the Fisherman's Trail, the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail and the Historical Way between April and May. For us it's the best time of the year; not hot, not too busy, fields are covered in flowers, and prices are a lower than in the peak season.
Summer particularly July and August are the hottest and the busiest months in the Algarve. If you have a choice I'd suggest walking the route any other time. Accommodation prices go up, it's busy, and very hot.
October and the first half of November are good months for walking; comfortable weather, lower prices, not crowded.
As for walking the route completely offseason between December and March it can be good or bad.
February is the rainiest month and March sometimes gets very wet too.
The 25/26 winter season was notorious for bad weather with pouring rain for weeks and stormy winds which resulted in floods and cause damage on the roads and trails. If you decide to hike the trail in winter you should be prepared to change your plans if necessary.
How to get to the Fisherman's Trail?
There are direct buses from Lisbon to both Porto Covo and Lagos (wherever you decide to start). Rede Expressos buses leave throughout the day from Sete Rios and Oriente bus stations in Lisbon. When checking for buses make sure to choose Lisbon all stations (Lisboa todas as Estações).
The Lisbon to Porto Covo journey takes between 2 and 3 hours depending on the bus route. The standard price is 16,5 Euro. You can get tickets online for as little as 7 euros. There are 7-10 daily departures. You can check the up-to-date itinerary and buy tickets online.
If you're planning to start at S.Torpes Beach which is 10 km north of Porto Covo you'll have to get off the bus earlier. S.Torpes Beach is between Sines and Porto Covo. Ask a driver to stop at Praia de São Torpes.
The Lisbon to Lagos journey takes 3-4 hours on average. The price is 20 euros. You can buy tickets online for as little as 7-10 euros. There are more than 10 daily buses.
There are daily direct buses from Lisbon to Sagres, Vila do Bispo, Aljezur, Odeceixe, Zambujeira do Mar, Almograve, and Vila Nova de Milfontes.

Alya loves walking since she was a child, she prefers to walk 1000 km with a backpack rather than to do a 10 000 km road trip (actually any road trip). Alya is a big fan of Latin America, the Spanish language, and dancing. Every time we go away she desperately misses our dog Chile.
Hello Campbell and Alya, thank you for many useful infos and tips. I am planning to do the Fisherman´s Trail from Porto Covo to Sagres and possibly to Lagos end May/beg June. I am travelling by myself and have a little doubt back in my head about my security. Is it safe for a woman to do the trail alone? Any tips that you would recommend to a single person on the trail?
Thank you very much for you answer!!
Hello Jana. Thank you for the comment. I (Alya) walked 3 stages (from Sagres to Lagos) of the Fishermen's Trail alone and never felt unsafe. There will be other hikers on the trail in May-June. I saw many single female hikers on the trail over the years and never heard of any safety issues. I'm sure you'll enjoy the trail. Locals are very friendly and helpful. You'll feel welcome.
Good luck
Hello
A friend and I are planning to do the Rota Vicentina by MTB next September. I was wondering if you think that the Fisherman's trail is suitable for cycling and if there is GPS track available somewhere help us with the guiding.
Hello Jose. I think it's possible to cycle the Rota Vicentina but not the Fisherman's Trail. There are MTB routes in the same area as the hiking trail but they are different from the walking route. You don't get to cycle along the coast it's mostly inland. The scenery you see cycling is different from the one you see walking. You can find more details on the cycling routes here https://rotavicentina.com/en/cycling/mountain-bike-network/
Cheers
Hey, thank you for the tips and information, they are really helpful! I am planning on camping and because i can't bring gas for my camping stove I was wondering if you know where I can find it in Portugal. Do you know a place either in Lagos or Porto Covo where I might find it?
Hello Theresa. Thank you for the comment. You can definitely buy camping gas in Decathlon shops in Portugal. I don't know where in Portugal you're flying to. You can find Decathlon shops in Lisbon. The closest to the Fisherman's Trail Decathlon shop is in Portimao, a bigger town 30-minutes from Lagos. I'm not sure you'll be able to find gas in Porto Covo but you might find gas in one of the supermarkets in Lagos e.g. Continente or Intermarche.
Cheers
Thanks for the great detail and booking links! I would like to do part of this trail in Sept23. Is my sad inability to understand any language but English going to be a problem? Would you consider this trail to be safe for a single female traveller?
Hello Karen. Thank you for the comment. In southern Portugal many people speak god English especially in the Algarve. We live in Lagos (the end of the Fishermen's Trail) and we barely get to speak any Portuguese. You shouldn't worry about it. I walked some stages of the trail alone and never felt unsafe. September is a peak of touristy season in the area I'm sure there will be other people on the trail.
Cheers
Hello, my husband are considering a 6-day hike on the Fishermans' Trail from May 5-May 10. We were thinking of starting at Porto Covo, but I'm concerned about all the walking on sand. Is there another stretch which is still beautiful, but does not require so much walking on the dunes? It sounds kind of tedious.
Hello Lou. Thank you for the comment. I would suggest starting the Fishermen's Trail in Lagos (the route is marked in both direction) and see how far you get. If you have 6 days you can walk to Arrifana or Aljezur. That part has no sand dunes, most of it is along the cliffs with spectacular views.
Cheers
Hi guys,
Second time I’m using your website to plan a hiking trip, its been so helpful for the Camino last year!!
I am doing the FT end of April and I was wondering if you’d recommend bringing walking poles. They’ve proved invaluable on the Primitivo but only during the first week. Should I bring them to Portugal? I’m young and fit, just have bad knees that make descending on mountainy paths uncomfortable.
Thanks 🙂
Anne
Hello Anne. Thank you for the comment. The Fisherman's Trail hardly has any descents similar to the Camino Primitivo. The only part with many steep but short ascents and descents up and down rocks (you have to use your hands sometimes) was between Sagres and Salema but I'm not sure walking poles would help a lot.
Good luck
Hi! I must say that your hiking guide has been very helpful in my research - thank you very much!
I'm planning on hiking Fisherman's trail in early June 2023. You recommended a 30l bag for the 4-day hike. Would you reckon if that size is normally accepted as hand luggage on the plane or do you normally check in your luggage?
Thanks a lot,
Anna
Hello Anna. Thank you for the comment. I believe a 30l backpack can be accepted as hand luggage and it should be enough for a 4-day hike. A guess you're doing only a part of the Fisherman's Trail as the whole route is 13 days. When we fly within Europe we usually take only hand luggage.
Cheers
Hi Thank you for the detailed information. Very useful! We would love to walk 4 days of the trail with our three kids in May. They are in the age of 13,11 and 9. We cannot find any information on whether the trail is “kids proof”. Do you know if there are more childeren who walk parts of the trail? Thank you so much for your reply! Best regards Maaike
Hello Maaike. Thank you for the comment. By "kids' proof" do you mean no walking close to the edge of the cliffs? There are some parts on the Fisherman's Trail where the route goes along unfenced steep cliffs but it's not dangerous it's never on the very edge of the cliffs. If you want to walk for 4 days I can recommend the first part from Porto Covo to Odeceixe. The trail goes mostly over sand dunes and through beaches.
Cheers
Hi - thanks a million for all of the detailed resources on the rota vicentino. I am in Lisbon in early december and want to try to do a day or two of hiking along the coast to get a taste of the Fisherman's Trail. We'll only have two nights basically (leaving lisbon on a monday morning and returning to Lisbon the wednesday afternoon.) Is there a town within a few hours of Lisbon you'd recommend as particularly nice where we could perhaps hike the monday afternoon and all day on the tuesday? Thanks!
Hello Jeff. Thank you for the comment. You can walk the first two stages of the Fishermen's Trail from St.Torpes Beach to Vila Nova de Milfontes. The first stage from St.Torpes Beach (Praia de Sao Torpes in Sines) to Porto Covo is short - 10 km which is perfect if you start in the afternoon. Both places (St.Torpes Beach and Vilanova de Milfontes) are about 2 hours by bus from Lisbon.
Cheers
Hi guys,
I love your site, so well written x
I'm near Armacao-de-pera and I'd like to walk north as close to the coast as possible. Do you have any guides or advice for that? Thanks, Nell
Hello Nell. Thank you for the comment. If you want to walk north along the coast then the Fishermen's Trail is the best I'd say the only option. You can start walking in Lagos or in Sagres and walk up along the West Coast. You can find detailed walking stages in this post https://stingynomads.com/fishermens-trail-rota-vicentina-itinerary/.
Cheers
Hi! Great information - many thanks. We are doing the FT on a 6/7 day walk from Porto Covo next week (Oct) and I was intending to use my good walking shoes. Some are taking walking boots but I note that you recommend shoes. Are boots over the top? Thanks so much.
Hello Frank. Thank you for the comment. We walked the Fisherman's Trail in hiking shoes and some sections in trail runners (we live on the trail and sometimes walk parts of the route as day hikes). I don't think hiking boots are necessary for the trail. On the first day from Porto Covo, you walk on the beach and over sand dunes half of the time, and we walked barefoot.
Cheers
Hi there! Thanks for your information, it's been extremely helpful. I was wondering if there are public places (in town, not along the route) from VN Milfontes to Aljezur to fill up water? Thank you!
Hello Heather. Thank you for the comment. Every town along the route has shops, hotels, and restaurants you can refill your water there or buy bottled water if you don't drink tap water. Overall everywhere in Portugal, it's safe to drink tap water but if you want to can buy water at shops and restaurants. At some bigger supermarkets e.g. Pingo Doce you can buy reusable plastic bottles (1L, 2L, 5L) and refill them again but not every town has a supermarket where you can refill filter water.
Cheers
Hello, we are two people planing to hike a part of the fisherman's trail. We only got four days. Which part of the route would you recommend?
Hello Sarah. I think the part of the Fisherman's Trail from Vila do Bispo to Lagos is the best option for you. The scenery is stunning along the entire route but if you walk the last part you get to see two of the highlights of the Algarve region Cape St.Vincent and Ponta da Piedade, and of course many beautiful beaches.
Cheers
Thanks a lot for a very useful webpage! We are planning to do part of the trail this August (second half). At stage 6 (Odeceixe -> Aljezur), we are thinking of detouring from the official trail to Praia da Amoreira. In that regard, do you know if it possible to cross the river there with our gear (for example by boat or by walking in not too deep water) so as to avoid passing by Aljezur?
Hello Genaro. Thank you for the comment. We've been to Praia da Amoreira a couple of times and the river didn't look like anything you could walk across. We never saw or heard of a ferry or a boat you can use to cross it. On the official regional website, there is a warning against crossing the river. Apparently, the current can get very strong, especially at low tide. The river crossing might be why the Fisherman's Trail goes inland through Aljezur and does not follow the coast. Don't worry about missing out on the beach. If you took a longer route from Aljezur to Arrifana that goes along the coast you'll get the best views of Praia do Amoreira if you follow the wooden staircase down to the lookout point. If you're looking for a beautiful sandy beach then Bordeira Beach near Carrapateirs is the great one. It's one of our favorites on the Fisherman's Trail. Even during peak season, there are not too many people there. It's on the trail you don't have to worry about getting there.
Cheers
Thanks a lot! Again, this is very helpful. We are considering skipping the "beach loop" from Aljezur to Arrifana. Instead, we are thinking of going straight to Arrifana and then onwards to Carrapateira in one day. If we do this, will we miss "must-see" places along the loop?
Many hikers walk from Aljezur to Carrapateir in one day skipping a stop in Arrifana. Arrifana is a small surf town but accommodation there is quite pricy if you want to stay close to the beach. If you walk straight to Carrapateira you won't see Amoreira Beach and Arrifana Beach but there are plenty of beaches on the Fisherman's Trail. Sunset from the cliffs in Arrifana is quite nice but you can see it from many places on the West Coast including the cliffs near Carrapateira and Sagres.
Cheers
Thanks for the description and tips shared. When did you do the trail? It seems the prices for accommodation have at least doubled since then even off the main season.
Hello, Anett. Thank you for the comment. We live on the Fisherman's Trail. We walked it at the beginning of May before the season. I just checked prices for the places we stayed for random days in October and June and I get double rooms for 35-45 euros per night and dorm beds for 20 euros per person per night. E.g. Ahoy Porto Covo from 14th to 15th October a double room for 44 euros; Hostel Seixe in Odeceixe from 23rd to 24h June a double room for 40 euros; Amazing Design Hostel from 1st to 2nd October 20 euros for a dorm bed; Lila's Private Accommodation in Vila do Bispo from 5th to 6th October for 40 euros. I'm not sure for what dates you're checking. I don't see that the prices are at least doubled.
The main season in the Algarve is from June to the end of September. During that time you can expect prices to be much higher. You can use the PDF file with accommodation on the Fisherman's Trail that is provided in the post to find places to stay. In the file, you can find the cheapest places and check their availability and prices.
Cheers
Hi
Can you recommend towns you would spend an additional night in please on the Fisherman’s trail from porto covo to sagres thank you
Hello, Caitriona. We liked Porto Covo, it's a nice though very small village. To be honest I'd recommend spending an extra day in Sagres and visiting Lagos rather than staying more days in one of the towns on the stretch of the Fisherman's Trail between Porto Covo to Sagres.
Cheers
This is great, thanks for this detailed overview!
Which part is best suited for a 1-day hiking trip? Ideally - where is the most variety in scenery, do you have any recommendations?
Hello, Milena. Thank you for the comment. Every stage of the Fisherman's Trail is beautiful. I'd suggest choosing one based on where in the Algarve you're going to stay. If you're planning to stay in the southern Algarve e.g. Lagos or Albufeira then a hike from Praia da Luz to the Old Town of Lagos through Ponta da Piedade, Praia do Camilo and Dona Ana Beach is a great option for you. The scenery is spectacular you get to visit some of the main attractions of the region. If you're going to stay on the West Coast of the Algarve e.g. Odeceixe etc. then I'd definitely recommend doing a walk along the cliffs from Bordeira Beach (Carrapateira). F
There is a spectacular day hike in the Algarve called Seven Hanging Valleys it's a 7-kilometers linear trail along the cliffs from Praia da Marinha. It's one of the most beautiful trails in the region. We have a detailed post on it https://stingynomads.com/seven-hanging-valleys-trail/. It's difficult to compare stages of the Fisherman's Trail with the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail but I was very impressed with the scenery on the second route.
Cheers
Thanks a million, looking forward to exploring!
@Stingy Nomads, Many thanks for your detailed travel notes. Very much appreciated. We hope to walk the Fisherman’s Trail at the end of September and the information you supplied is invaluable.
Hello Bobby. Thank you very much for the feedback. I'm sure you'll enjoy the Fisherman's Trail. If you happen to be in Lagos let us know we can meet up for coffee.
Cheers
Just wanted to let you know that none of the pictures nor the ability to comment is loading on your Otter Trail page.
Hello, Brian. Thank you very much for letting us know. We had some technical issues yesterday but now it's been fixed.
Cheers
This was really helpful and detailed, thanks so much!
I was wondering, does anyone ever start at the bottom and finish at the Porto Covo end?
Hello, Carla. Thank you for the comment. You can start walking the Fisherman's Trail either way. There are people who walk the route in the opposite direction. You can do it whichever way suits you the best.
Cheers
Wow!! Thank you so much for all this information.
Hello, Marianne. Thank you for the comment. If you have any questions regarding the Fisherman's Trail we'll be happy to answer them.
Cheers
