With 13 sections and 260 km, integrating GR 11 / E9, the European long distance path connecting Sagres to St. Petersburg, the Historical Way was certified in 2016 by the European wide label “Leading Quality Trails – Best of Europe”, for its high walking quality.
Fishermen's Trail.
Comprising 5 sections in the Alentejo and 8 complementary sections in the Algarve, totalling over 225 km, the Fishermen’s Trail is a single track along the cliffs which can only be travelled by foot. It is more demanding from a physical point of view as there are sand dunes to tackle on virtually every stage .
Circular trails.
In 2016, there were 5 short circular routes, totalling 46km, to choose from, at Almograve, S. Luís, Troviscais, Santa Clara and Sabóia, all located in the municipality of Odemira, each with a duration of just half a day or less.
For 2019, several more circular trails were developed and marked in close proximity to the Rota Vicentina.
Now there are 22 circular trails across 4 municipalities totalling almost 260 kms, which can each be completed in half a day.
