CaminoWays.com, the cycling and walking holiday specialists, have just launched a new coastal trail: the magnificent Rota Vicentina Fishermen's Trail in South West Portugal.

An authentic hidden gem, walkers on the Rota Vicentina Fishermen's Trail follow superb coastal tracks shaped by the Atlantic Ocean in a land where the sea has been a livelihood for generations.

The Fishermen's Trail crosses an area of unspoilt and wild natural beauty. As you make your way across the Alentejo and Vicentina Coast Natural Park, you will be rewarded with spectacular cliffs, sweeping ocean views and peaceful oak forests and olive groves.

You will be following in the footsteps of local fishermen who still take these trails today to reach the best fishing spots in the region.

Go for a swim in the ocean at one of the many sandy coves and treat yourself to fresh fish and seafood as you stop in friendly fishing villages such as Vilanova de Milfontes and Zambujeira do Mar along the way.

At Cabo de São Vicente (Cape Saint Vincent), Europe's most south western point, you will enjoy dramatic views of the ocean and the cliffs. The cape is also a privileged spot for bird watching in the Autumn months. The tour finishes in the seaside resort of Sagres, where you can relax after this exhilarating trek.
