On the south Fishermen's great coastal trail, cliffs of various colours hold the hiker's gaze. Shades of ochre, red, grey, white, and black contrast with the bright blueness of the ocean.
Walk by the sea, follows the paths used by the locals to access the beaches and fishing grounds. This trail is longing the cliffs, with breath-taking views and some truly memorable moments.
Escape the busy tourist spots of the Algarve and discover the unspoilt Sagres Peninsula, a region of spectacular natural beauty with rugged cliffs, dramatic coastlines and sandy beaches.
From Vila do Bispo, you will make your way to the mesmerising Cabo de Sao Vicente - Europe's most south-westerly point and an unforgettable part of your holiday. Be sure to take your camera - the views are incredible! Then you will follow one of the Algarve's most beautiful walking trails to historic Lagos, before rounding off your holiday in style, walking the cliff-tops to some of the area's finest beaches.
Transfer to Vila do Bispo.
You stay at Hotel Mira Sagres (Breakfast included)
Transfer to Carrapateira. Do take time to visit the interesting Land and Sea Museum for an insight into the history of the village and its fishing economy. You'll then pick up the Fishermen’s Trail passing one of the Algarve's finest viewpoints, following a lovely path through Bordeira beach, the beauty of pristine valleys, the picturesque villages of Vilarinha and Pedralva.
Continue through a forest of pine and eucalyptus as you follow the Rota Vicentina, then a meandering trail through flower meadows leading you along a path and down to the pretty village of Vila do Bispo.
You stay at Hotel Mira Sagres (Breakfast included)
Surrounded by foaming Atlantic breakers, Cabo de Sao Vicente marks the most south-westerly point of Europe. The walk out to the edge of the continent should prove to be one of the highlights of your week! You are spoilt with amazing coastal scenery on this wild and unpopulated route that follows sandy paths and gorse-strewn meadows to the very edge of the Iberian Peninsula. At the Cape there is a lighthouse, museum and small bar, offering wonderful photo opportunities.
You stay at Hotel Navigator (Breakfast included)
Sagres is best place in Europe for observing migratory seabirds, such as scopoli’s shearwater, great black-backed gull and other terns. You can also enjoy dolphins watching from the coast.
Alternatively, why not take a walk to the Ponta da Atalaia and Ponta da Baleeira headland today? You'll experience wonderful views over Sagres' impressive fortress and the Mareta and Martinhal beaches. Or, head straight to Martinhal Beach for a stroll on the sand and a drink at one of the bars!
You stay at Hotel Navigator (Breakfast included)
Follow the fishermen trail to wonderful and peaceful beaches such as Figueira, Ingrina, Barranco and Martinhal. The trail will lead you to the quaint fishing village of Salema with narrow streets and whitewashed houses. Salema allows you to experience picturesque holidays in a secret Algarve. Here, privacy and sea views prevail, in a landscape that illustrates the perfect holiday postcard with the blue sea contrasting with the white tones of the villas.
Transfer from Salema to Lagos.
Upon arrival in Lagos, you will be greeted by the impressive view over Meia Praia Beach. The fort of Ponta da Bandeira watches over the entrance of this important port, where the adventure of the Portuguese discoveries began six centuries ago.
You stay at Hotel Dom Pedro (Breakfast included)
Transfer in the morning to Salema. Then, along your walk, cross a confluence of several streams in Boca do Rio. Then, continue your walk until you reach the beach of Luz, a lovely stretch of fine sand which gently slopes into the usually calm sea. Further on, reach Ponta da Piedade, one of the most outstanding places in the Algarve. Rocks carved by the wind and tides for thousands of years form caves and tunnels in an incredibly beautiful spot. It is a beautiful beach with its own picturesque charm.
Transfer from Ponta da Piedade to Lagos.
You stay at Hotel Dom Pedro (Breakfast included)
On this last day, you will be transferred to Faro airport.

Everyone who goes on a Headwater holiday will be emailed a link to our post-holiday questionnaire where they can give us an honest assessment of all aspects of their holiday - everything from how quickly we answer the phone to how clean the hotels were - plus an overall rating and comments about their holiday.
Any feedback collected is posted to our website, so that people can make an informed decision based on past experiences before heading off on holiday. We don’t edit the reviews, the only thing we do is proofread them and alter any typos, where necessary, to ensure they are easy to read for everyone. All reviews will be published (except in certain extreme circumstances), and a member of the Headwater team will respond to any constructive criticisms/comments under the reviews, at their discretion. So, for the real tales, twists and turns of our holidays, look no further than the reviews from our previous travellers.
I found Headwater and the local Tour Company in Portugal to be helpful, responsive and, in the main, efficient. There was some temporary confusion as to which hotels I would be staying at in two of my destinations but this was resolved satisfactorily. I felt well supported throughout my time in the care of the local agent Alex who was always available with helpful suggestions but never overbearing. The GPS app was generally reassuring but there was the odd occasion when the route became unclear. However, any deviation was clearly indicated by the app meaning it was always possible to re-find the right path fairly quickly. Occasionally the GPS signal would be lost but never for long. I would advise older people (I am 65) to inquire about the degree of difficulty of the route terrain as parts of the path involved steep (and occasionally) slippery ascents and descents, rather more strenuous than I had expected from the rating shown. Hotels all quite acceptable - friendly and comfortable
You can be confident that our pricing includes all the standard requirements of your holiday and many additional extras. Always ensure that you are comparing like for like when booking your holiday.
This 6 night self-guided walking holiday includes:
Hotel-to-hotel accommodation in a mix of hotels
All breakfast included
Management by your local Headwater-appointed agent
Headwater navigation app for your smartphone
Luggage transfers between hotels
Walking transfers
