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.

We spent a week here in the spring to celebrate my significant birthday and we loved every minute. Everything was great: the horses, the instruction, the company and the food. We both learned loads about horses and my husband coped fine although he had never ridden before. For me, the best bit was working with a loose horse in the round pen - having the horse do what I asked was absolutely magic. We both came home calm and relaxed with a new perspective on relating to horses.

Lovely sandy beach ????, depending on the tides there can be a gentle slope. During high season there is a lifeguard on duty. As an estuary it is tidal, the water can feel quite fresh! There are toilet facilities, Oasis bar/restaurant. Suitable for all ages, a peaceful beach.
