Trail integrated in Rota Vicentina - Grand Route with 230 km that can be travelled in 12 sections, in both directions, ranging between 15 and 25 km. This path runs through rural terrain and high scenic interest (rocky cliffs on the coast, small sandy beaches), botanic (many endemic species) and ornithologic (migratory route of about 5000 individuals from over 30 species, mostly birds of prey). It is still possible to observe the existence of sensitive habitats as the temporary ponds. Path approved by the Federação Portuguesa de Campismo e Montanhismo de Portugal (FCMP) and integrating the GR 11/ E9, which connects Sagres to St. Petersburg. In February 2016, the Historical Way has been certified by the European wide label “Leading Quality Trails – Best of Europe”, a certification from ERA – European Ramblers Association.
