THE EDGE OF EUROPE — 10 Days Solo Hiking the Fishermen's Trail

A 10-day, 230 km solo journey along the Fishermen’s Trail, walking Portugal’s wild southwest coastline with the ocean always in sight.
No talking. Just the sound of wind, waves, and footsteps in the sand.
Slow down and experience one of the most beautiful coastal hikes in the world.

► ABOUT THIS ADVENTURE
In March 2026, I set out to walk the Fishermen’s Trail, part of the Rota Vicentina, following paths once used by local fishermen.
An adventure shaped by cliffs, beaches, dunes, storks on sea stacks, new trail friends, strong winds, and simple moments that stay.
Exposed, demanding, and deeply rewarding.

This film captures that experience, and a simple reminder.
Sometimes, the most incredible places are closer than we think.

I hope it inspires you to get out there and go on your own adventure, whether it’s on the Fishermen’s Trail or somewhere else.
