Highlight (Segment) • Trail

If you do not want to run the entire Rota Vicentina, you can just do a little bit of it. It's worth it anyway!

Beautiful bay, which is surrounded on both sides by rock walls. The descent down could be a bit slippery, but it's worth it.

August 14, 2023,Praia do Zambujeira do Mar – Rota Vicentina Runde von Zambujeira do Mar

This stretch of coast is incredible. There was an "ooooohhhh" lurking around every corner. We first had to fortify ourselves, everything was delicious.

Then the thought came to us: strawberries 🍓 and raspberries are harvested here by Nepalese workers so that we can enjoy our healthy diet at home. It's a bit uneasy to see these conditions here.
