April 23, 2023,Küstenwanderung nach Benagil 🇵🇹

A fast line 🐍 and many people were on the way to meet. There is a lot of up and down, partly steep and rocky with small gravel. You can also do it with slippers...we left ours in the accommodation. There is a lot going on at the kayak rental in Benagil on Sunday.

We didn't go into the sea caves. The waves were too rough for us. 🤢😂

April 15, 2024,Hike back from Praia de Vale Centianes to Benagil

After a refreshing swim at the beach - back to Benagil with the sunset in my back.

March 7, 2023,[PT] Benagil - Steilküste bis Praia do Vale Covo

From Benagil along the fantastic, spectacular cliffs in the direction of Carvoeiro, started in good weather, it started to rain at some point, despite a completely different weather forecast, and it kept getting heavier.
That's why we preferred to take the bus back from Praia de Vale Covo, so that the last part on foot wasn't that long.
So there …

May 21, 2024,🇵🇹 Von Carvoeiro nach Benagil 🚶‍♂️

Today was the first day of our Portugal vacation. Before we set off on the Fisherman's Trail tomorrow, we explored the beautiful stretch of coast between Carvoeiro and Benagil. We weren't alone, but the views were unique. A promising start 😊 More tomorrow.
