Vila do Bispo to Sagres on the Historical Way

Information

Distance: 16.5km, ↗: 140m, ↘: 185m

This route goes from Vila do Bispo to Sagres following the Historical Way for part of the walk. I caught a bus to Vila do Bispo from Sagres (there are several daily). The walk starts at the roundabout to the north of the village, then heads west before taking a looping detour to visit the Torre de Aspa where there are views of Sagres and Cape St Vincent. About 1.5km south of the tower I turned west to the cliff top just north of the Praia da Ponta Ruiva where I ate my lunch before returning to Sagres via inland paths and tracks.
