View of Porto Covo

The view of Porto Covo from here is rather mediocre... walk a few meters further towards Porto Covo, where the coast slopes down and you have a clearer view

Porto Covo Beach Crossing

Highlight • Beach

Cycle and hiking path crosses the beach at the village entrance. At high water level you have to walk across the rocks (you might still get wet feet). Steep climb out of the beach into the village.

Porto Covo

Highlight • Settlement

Porto Covo stretches out over the Atlantic with its simple charm: whitewashed houses, quiet streets, and a strong fishing soul. Here, life follows the rhythm of the sea.

Porto Covo Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Porto Covo has essentially retained the charm of a small fishing village. The small church in the old town is particularly nice to look at. Definitely worth a visit.

We walked the kid and the baby to Porto Covo along the beautiful section of GR11 and, then, took them back "home".
