The entire Rota Vicentina trail includes 450 kilometres of gorgeous hiking paths. The most popular section follows the coast the entire way. The entire Fishermen's Trail is 226 kilometres long and is normally hiked in 13 stages, although that can be adjusted depending on your overall walking speed and how long you want your days to be. This beautiful ocean-front trail runs from Sao Torpes to Lagos and features the best scenery of the entire Rota Vicentina trail network. We hiked from Sao Torpes to Sagres, roughly 180 kilometres, staying as close to the coast as possible. Meanwhile, the Historical Way follows dirt roads and rural trails through farmland and small villages inland. It runs for roughly 260 km from Santiago do Cacem to Lagos, occasionally overlapping with the Fishermen's Trail. There are also many different "circular routes" that can be added on and a variety of at some stages along the route.
