View of the Mira River and the bridge at Vila Nova de Milfontes

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the exit of Vila Nova de Milfontes, this large bridge spans the Mira. Borrowed from motorists, it is also shared with cyclists and hikers who walk on the Trilho dos Pescadores. From the middle of the bridge, the view of the river and its mouth is spectacular.

Pine Forest Trail – Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina

Highlight • Trail

If you leave the path directly on the coast, you suddenly find yourself unexpectedly in a pine forest. The shadow is a pleasant change. You then walk the path until you come back to the familiar path.

Monte Clérigo Beach

Highlight • Beach

A dreamy beach. There are a few beach bars here that will refresh you after work with the best view. A small detour to Amoreira Bay is worthwhile, here you get the icing on the cake when it comes to the view.

Barranco da Fonte Guesthouse

Highlight • Restaurant

Located inland, on the great routes of the Trilho dos Pescadores and Caminho Histórico, the Barranco da Fonte establishment offers catering and accommodation. During the very hot summer days, the shade and the cool drinks offered by this place seem like an oasis in the middle of the desert.

Vila do Bispo

Highlight • Settlement

The windmills no longer turn in Vila do Bispo, once the breadbasket of the Algarve, but the charm remains. The white houses descend gently down the hill crowned by the church tower, and the narrow streets hold the soul of the old Algarve: whitewashed facades, colorful frames, stone doors, and shadows that alleviate the heat.

Today, this welcoming village is a meeting point for major trails (the Fisherman's Trail, the Historical Way, and the Via Algarviana) and for travelers who find here rest, good food, and open-hearted people.

Cabo de São Vicente Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Five kilometers from Sagres rises the mythical Cabo de São Vicente, the last gaze of land for explorers setting off towards the unknown of the vast ocean.

Wild, windy, and imposing, this promontory of steep cliffs plunges into the Atlantic, crowned by one of Europe's most powerful lighthouses.

Called by the Romans Promontorium Sacrum, the "end of the world" was for centuries a sacred place, shrouded in legends and mysteries. Today, it remains a pilgrimage point for sailors, hikers, and dreamers, where the horizon seems to dissolve into infinity.

Zavial Beach

Highlight • Beach

Praia do Zavial is a beautiful beach of fine sand embedded between two beautiful limestone cliffs. A pleasant beach café-restaurant is open there. The view from the terrace allows you to observe the surfers.
