Warnings
The route has several crossings with the national roads N120 and N393-1 and with numerous municipal roads that can have heavy traffic, particularly in the Summer high season (July-August).
The path along the coast after Cabe Sardão has a lot of sand in some places and coincides with the very popular and busy Rota Vicentina Fisherman’s Trail.
We therefore recommend that you pay extra attention because of the risk of unexpected areas of and the probable presence of walkers.
The first single track takes place in a flat area on the edge of irrigation channel and the second, near the end of the course, is downhill and crosses a small park where you can come across people walking. It is advisable to moderate your speed there and give priority to pedestrians.
