Itinerary
Make your own way to the first hotel in Porto Covo, or we can assist with a transfer from Lisbon on request (ask for our rates). Porto Covo is a beautiful beach resort town located on the western Alentejo coastline. The small town is surrounded by some of the finest beaches of central Portugal.
On your first day's walk you will follow the coast, along the vast sand dunes area of Ilha do Pessegueiro, Aivados and Malhão beaches. You'll discover small deserted coves. The terrain today is constantly sandy, but the diversity of the beaches you pass will surprise you. Overnight at Vila Nova de Milfontes. Distance: 19km/11.8mi, ascent +540m/1772ft, descent -425m/1395ft
