Beautiful place with amazing bird life. We saw dolphins from the cliffs! Plenty of places to park and do circular loops - we did one from Praia do Aromeira and another near Arrifana

Absolutely stunning views! The hike is actually easy, however, definitely wear some hiking boots. Some of the areas are super steep and the rocks are loose. But getting to the top is definitely worth ever bit of the sweat getting up there!

One of the best places I have ever been. If you need to relax and enjoy the silence staying in contact with nature and being surrounded by beautiful landscapes, Costa Vicentina Is the Place to be.

Fantastic place, views that are breath taking, paths are easy to follow. Had one of the most beautiful runs I've ever had there. Most paths are somewhat loose sand, so it can be difficult to walk plus there is a pretty steep and somewhat dangerous part when going to Azenha do mar.

We hiked back and forth from the Fort of Arrifana to Clérigo. Challenging at first, but the stunning views make you instantly forget your sweat!

Fabulous coastline with much historical significance. A delight for anyone who enjoys hiking trails high up on the cliffs, unspoiled beaches and quaint little surf shack type places to eat. Some off roading/rough driving may be required but we were good in our little saloon car. 4 wheel drive wasn't necessary for any of the spots we visited.
