Walking Along the Coast - Walking Self-Guided Program.... an adventure waiting for you!
The main aim of this program is to offer the participants a chance to know one of the most beautiful coasts of Europe.
The Vicentine Coast bathed by the clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean offers unique landscapes with unforgettable sunsets in a mild climate ideal for walking.
The suggested tracks are in the protected area of the Natural Park of Vicentine Coast and offer countless points of observation of the landscape, fauna and flora.
All this comes together with the local gastronomy, the excellent Portuguese wines and the extremely comfortable rural accommodation ideal to recover from the long walking days.
It is very easy to arrive given the quick and easy accesses but it will be difficult to departure and leave behind a handful of feelings that only the Vicentine Coast can offer.
…the walks in the Vicentine Coast are a little more than a challenge, they are a way of being…..
