Descent to Porto das Barcas Fishing Harbor

Highlight • Settlement

At the end of the beautiful route along the cliffs, it goes over wooden steps, slightly exposed areas and a small wooden bridge down to a fishing port to come on the other side of a ramp right back to the original height.

Both at the bottom of the harbor and above the ramp, two fish restaurants invite you to fortify yourself for the subsequent - not so beautiful route.

Cliffs of Zambujeira do Mar

Highlight • Natural Monument

The coast of Zambujeira do Mar is a pure natural spectacle: steep cliffs falling into the Atlantic, small hidden beaches, and a silence that, outside the high season, seems infinite. This area is part of the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park and is a haven for wildlife, especially storks, which nest on the cliffs.

When cycling here, you'll share the path with the famous Trilho dos Pescadores (Fishermen's Trail), so slow down on the curves and enjoy the route calmly. Between beaches like Alteirinhos, Carvalhal, or Tonel, every kilometer is a mixture of raw beauty and freedom.

Cabo Sardão Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The lighthouse is 17 meters high and the beacon has been in operation since 1915. The tower is perched on the craggy cliffs that drop precipitously to the sea (makes sense to put a signal light at this point for the sailors).
