Treking Portugal's Rota Vicentina - Cicerone

Productomschrijving: Deze gids volgt de Rota Vicentina, een 220 km lange wandelroute langs de prachtige Atlantische kust in de regio's Alentejo en Algarve in Portugal. De 12-stappen tocht combineert twee goed gemarkeerde routes, de Caminho Histórico (de Historische Weg) en de Trilho dos Pescadores (het Visserspad), tot een wandeling die begint in Santiago do Cacém en eindigt in Cabo de São Vicente. De gids beschrijft ook een alternatieve rondwandeling voor degenen die de voorkeur geven aan een lus van 11 etappes, die vanaf Odeceixe landinwaarts gaat en weer terug naar Santiago de Cacém.

Engelse omschrijving: This guidebook follows the Rota Vicentina, a 220km walking route along the marvellous Atlantic coastline in the Alentejo and Algarve regions of Portugal. The 12-stage trek combines two well-marked routes, the Caminho Histórico (the Historical Way) and the Trilho dos Pescadores (the Fishermen's Trail), to create a hike starting in Santiago do Cacém and ending at Cabo de São Vicente. The guide also describes an alternative circular route for those who would prefer an 11-stage loop, moving inland from Odeceixe and back up to Santiago de Cacém.

Whichever route is chosen, the Rota Vicentina is ideal for a two-week holiday in spring or late summer to autumn, offering walkers a remarkable range of landscapes from coastal fishing villages to wooded river valleys. The guidebook includes advice about accommodation options along the route, information about the surrounding area, and a glossary of Portuguese terms to aid with reading signs and maps.

Along the Rota Vicentina are many delights for walkers. This stunning coastal region is home to a variety of rare birdlife, including white storks that nest precariously on sea stacks. Another treat is the mouth-watering Portuguese cuisine, whether the famous custard tarts or less well-known goose barnacles. With its vibrant cultural traditions and rich history displayed in Arab-era castles and 15th-century Age of Discovery sites, this route offers pleasant surprises at every stage along the Portuguese Atlantic coast.
