Walking tours in the Douro Valley -hike by one of the most charming destinations of Portugal, the world's first demarcated wine region.
4 of us went to Portugal for some active vacations and besides cycling we also booked a self-guided tour in the Southwest Coast with Live Love Hike. They met us at our hotel in Lisbon and transferred us to the coast to start our hike. We stayed in a great mix of rural hotels, all very comfortable, and hiked along this unexplored coastal area of Portugal. Some great scenic hikes along the rugged coast and clifftops of Arrifana, Carrapateira and Sagres with the ocean as backdrop. Beautiful beaches and coves, some of them almost deserted. Brilliant food, especially the fresh fish and seafood. Finishing the hike in a place like Sagres, right in the southern tip of the country is fantastic.
Hiking was the best way to enjoy Sintra in its whole: culture, nature and food. We had the chance to visit the city while enjoying romantic monuments and escape from the city to the natural park. Sintra is surrounded by land and sea. From Sintra hill, you can see the westernmost point of Europe, which makes this walking tour quite epic. The hiking routes were carefully planned to experience incredible sightseeing points, great local food and excellent hotels for a good night of rest and recovery.
