Brejo Largo Beach

Access in the north via a staircase. In the middle, difficult access via "natural stairs" with an auxiliary rope.
Considered one of the most beautiful beaches.

The Rota Vicentina leads in four to five stages along the west coast of Portugal. Again and again there are wonderful views of the cliffs with their beautiful rock formations.

Praia da Foz dos Ouriços

Highlight • Beach

This small, beautiful beach is right next to Praia do Almograve, it is not quite as crowded and offers a little more peace and quiet, especially in the main season.

January 3, 2023,Fischerpfad „Rota Vicentina“: Almograve - Praia das Furnas, Vila Nova de Milfontes
Half of the route partly very deep sand. Hiking sticks help here. You can save the detour from the beach to Almograve by crossing the watercourse at the sea. Along the beach you get back to the Rota Vicentina.

Although the Fisherman's Path is no longer an insider tip, it still captivates with its pristine nature, untouched nature, sensational views, and unique vegetation.
Today, after a delicious breakfast at our accommodation, we started with a short boat ride across the Rio Mira to avoid the hike along a busy main road. Then we continued on varied paths towards Almograve, …

A very short trek today at under 13k. Leaving VNdM around 9:30 and stollimg casually along still got me to Almograve at 13:00 giving plenty of time to relax. Buddy DC (X99DJC of Komoot fame) is on one of his regular bike tours up the Portuguese coast and it was grand to meet up for a spot of lunch 🐟🍻. …
This morning we drank a café doble com laite and had a tostada con queijo for breakfast at a typical local minimarket. Then we headed across the ria towards the sea. However, we stayed a few kilometers away from the edge of the sea. This meant that we only saw the sea occasionally, but at least we were spared the …

Today we walked the 2nd stage of the "Trilho dos Pescadores" from Vila Nova de Milfontes to Almograve. After a short boat ride (5€ per person) across the Rio Mira - which saved us almost 4 km of walking along less interesting roads - after a short chat with the ferryman about God, politics and the world, we continued south …

I think this was the shortest of all the stages (with the exception of the 12th), but it still took me all day. Enjoy staring at the waves for hours - wonderful!

Today I was also afraid of heights for the first time on this trip - on the bridge I had to take because the ferry was not running! …

After breakfast we start our second stage in the middle of Vila Nova de Milfontes. Of course we don't cross the Rio Mira by ferry, but walk over the bridge. This way we pass the cork oaks and the next meadows remind us of the Uckermark. And so we approach the coast again with its great beaches and rocky bays. …

Showing Translation

The starting point of our hike was the market square of the small town of Vila Nova de Milfontes. We first took a ferry across the Rio Mira and then continued along the coast to Almograve.
