Regions and trails
Farol Discover walks the south and west of Portugal: the Algarve coast, the Alentejo coast and the West Coast between Óbidos and Lisbon, plus the two long-distance trails that cross them, the Rota Vicentina and the Via Algarviana.
By region — walk a whole stretch of coast at your own pace
Alentejo Coast
The quietest stretch of Portugal's southwest coast: cork oaks and open beaches, white storks on the sea cliffs, and the northern Fishermen's Trail.
Algarve
Portugal's south coast on foot: golden cliffs, hidden coves, whitewashed villages, and quiet trails behind the busy beaches.
West Coast
Portugal's Silver Coast on foot: medieval towns, surf beaches and Atlantic light, within easy reach of Lisbon.
By trail — follow a great long-distance path end to end
Rota Vicentina
Portugal's wild southwest on foot: the Fishermen's Trail above the Atlantic, and the Historical Way inland through cork oak and quiet villages.
Via Algarviana
Right across the Algarve's interior, from the Guadiana river to the Atlantic cape: serra and cork oak, almond and carob, and old villages far from the beach.
