I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Rota Vicentina. From start (I started in Lagos) to finish (from Porto Covo, I went to Cercal, then Odemira), I went from one outstanding place to another magnificent place. This trail must be one of the most beautiful trails in the world ... rich in amazingness and abundant in nature. Beauty never ends ... from the golden cliffs and fine sandy beaches, to the wildlife and wildflowers that abound, to the wild ocean surfs, the trees, the farm animals .... wow, wow, wow. I must say that there were sections that I had to navigate really carefully, as the path was precarious especially on the hills and cliffs. Some trails were overgrown but I think Portugal wants to keep as many areas as untouched as possible. Countless times along the trail, my spirits were uplifted, I shed many tears silently, for the overwhelming feeling of gratitude to the Creator of this all. Even heading inland, through the cork forests and hills of the Alentejo region, it was the same magnificent experience. I stopped so many times just because I had to enjoy the moment and the beauty around me. I loved each little hamlet and town that I went through. I wished that I had stayed longer in each town to just enjoy its local culture and food. It took me 14 days to finish hiking on this trail and everyday was, indeed, a blessing.

Motor boat and canoe tours organized by "Bass Catch in Santa Clara" are the best way to enjoy Santa Clara-a-Velha Lake, with its magnificent views, dotted throughout with hidden inlets and islands. A boat trip is the most enjoyable way to really see how the lake fits in with the beauty of the surrounding countryside, so to get up "close and personal", a trip out in your own canoe can't be beaten - "Our canoes will get you to places other boats cannot reach!" Not surprisingly, Sport fishing can also be organized through "Bass Catch in Santa Clara", with Wide-mouth Bass and Carp the principal species of choice. With one of the largest lakes at your disposal there are plenty of accessible spots to choose from - situated just north of the Algarve, the lake itself has a circumference of 242 kms, but nowhere is it over half an hour away. Whether you be an experienced or novice fisherman, (we can supply all rods and tackle for the latter), "Bass Catch in Santa Clara" offers you the chance to be taken to the best places by local knowledgeable fishermen. We know the lake! We'll take you to where the fish are!

Being lodged in the small town you just have to go downstairs to reach the beach (in fact there are two beaches). Both are very agreeable and quite well protected from the wind. Anytime you need to go to your room and back to the beach it takes less than 10 minutes’ walk. Enjoy!
