  • This Portugal coastal hiking tour created for travellers seeking an easy, well-organised way to explore the Atlantic coast on foot. Over six days, guided walks are paired with comfortable hotels, smooth transfers, and carefully planned routes through Portugal’s most scenic coastal regions. Local guides take care of logistics, timing, and support, allowing you to focus on the experience itself. The trip balances daily hiking with cultural stops, seaside towns, and time to relax, resulting in an all-inclusive journey from start to finish!

    • We begin our journey in Lisbon and drive west to the dramatic Peninha Sanctuary, perched high above the Atlantic. From here, we start our hike, descending along coastal trails toward Guincho Beach, where wind, waves, and wide-open views define the landscape. Continuing onward, we walk through the protected Cresmina Dunes, a striking meeting point of ocean, sand, and sky, before stopping for lunch near the dunes. In the afternoon, we transfer to the seaside town of Cascais to check in, refresh, and gather for a welcome dinner together.

      Hiking: 10 km (6 mi)

    • We start the day near Praia Grande and hike along coastal paths hidden among native flora, making our way to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe. From the windswept cliffs, we take in expansive Atlantic views and watch local fishermen balanced above the surf. After lunch in the nearby village of Azoia, we visit the quiet, forested Capuchos Convent before returning to Cascais. The afternoon is spent strolling the historic streets, harbor, and seaside promenade at a relaxed pace.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch

In a traditional tile workshop, we learn about Portugal’s centuries-old azulejo ceramic tradition, found everywhere from churches to train stations. After free time for lunch, we hike a scenic section of the Rota Moinhos in Arrábida Natural Park, following old windmill paths with sweeping views of the mountains, Palmela Castle, and the Tejo estuary. We end the day in Vila Nova de Milfontes, dining together near the Mira River.

      Meals: Breakfast, dinner

A picnic lunch features local cheeses and regional flavors. In the afternoon, we choose either to transfer to our hotel or continue hiking to Cabo Sardão, where storks famously nest on sea cliffs above the Atlantic. We return to Vila Nova de Milfontes for the night.

We descend to the beach to explore the sands before transferring to Sagres on the Algarve coast, a place deeply tied to Portugal’s Age of Discoveries. Those opting for a shorter walk enjoy a relaxed countryside lunch stop before rejoining the group. We gather for dinner in Sagres.
