Departure from Odemira (Beja District)
A north-south route from Porto Covo to Cabo de São Vincente (Cape St Vincent), the westernmost point of continental Europe, followed by a west-east route to Lagos. The various stages mainly follow the coastal path known as the fishermen's path, often along the edge of cliffs with superb panoramic views. The route also passes inland, notably taking the historic path through the countryside. The route also allows you to discover charming little towns, with their white houses decorated with blue trim and charming little churches.
