**Greetings Everyone** \- Portugal \- Fishermen’s Trail includes a total of 13 nights\, a total of 226\,5 km

### Probably one of the best coastal trails in the world.

Always by the sea, follows the paths used by the locals to access the beaches and fishing grounds. It is a *single track*walkable only on foot, along the cliffs, with lots of sand and therefore more demanding from the physical point of view.

A challenge to permanent contact with the wind of the sea, the rudeness of the coastal landscape and the presence of a wild and persistent nature.

The trail is well-marked and suitable for hikers of varying skill levels, with accommodations ranging from cozy guesthouses to luxury tea estate bungalows.
