My wife and I walked the Rota from Sagres to Sines in September, 2019 ... fabulous weather. I walked in cross trainers with a 14# pack. I wouldn't have wanted boots but my shoes kept filling with sand. A good quality sandal might have been a better choice. I used poles and I was glad I did...
Yes, I think we will head inland from Porto Covo and walk to Santiago do Cacem ... then a bus to Lisbon.
On another note, can anyopne recommend an inexpensive place to stay in Vila do Bisbo for one night? I looked at Airb&b and HostelWorld ... there are a few places listed but they are either...
We're doing a similar walk this Sep/Oct, traveling north from Cabo de San Vincente to Santiago de Compostela, Spain ... taking the Rota and hooking up with the Camino Portugese in Lisbon. Does anyone have a suggestion about a good route from Porto Covo to Lisbon?
