Luggage transfer on the Rota Vicentina
Your bags move from one accommodation to the next while you walk the stage with just a day pack. From Porto Covo to Lagos, quoted individually.
of the Rota Vicentina
How it works
On the Fishermen's Trail, much of the path runs through sand: a 15–20 km stage with a light pack is nothing like the same stage with all your weight on your back.
The list of your accommodations, night by night, and the number of bags to move.
Based on the distance between accommodations and the number of bags. Quick reply, by email or phone.
Your bags are collected from your accommodation and dropped at the next one while you walk your stage.
The practical details are settled with you and your hosts at confirmation: every route has its constraints, which is exactly why we talk them through beforehand.
From Porto Covo to Lagos
We cover the part of the Rota Vicentina we walk ourselves, from the Alentejo coast to the tip of the Algarve: the heart of the Fishermen's Trail.
Does your itinerary go beyond this list, or combine these villages in an unusual order? Tell us: we'll be straight about whether we can cover it.
Walk the stage light: a day pack is enough when your bags travel separately.
Accommodation, airport transfer and luggage are booked in the same conversation, with the same team.
Official Rota Vicentina partner: we know which roads serve which accommodations, and how long each connection takes.
Your bags never change hands between subcontractors, and you have a direct number if something needs adjusting en route.
Quoted individually, at a fair price
There is no fixed price list, because the price depends on two concrete things: the distance between your two accommodations and the number of bags to move.
We'd rather give you a fair price than an average rate that doesn't match your route. Send us your stages, dates and number of bags: you'll receive a quote quickly, with no obligation.
Our two houses in Odeceixe, our private transfer from Faro (€150) or Lisbon (€250) and your luggage transfer all come together in one conversation. It's a combination no one else offers on this part of the coast.
Do you transfer luggage between accommodations?+
Yes, on request, between accommodations along the Rota Vicentina. You walk the stage with a day pack and find your things waiting at the end. The price is quoted individually.
Do I need to stay with you to use this service?+
No. The service is also for walkers staying elsewhere on the trail. If you stay with us for one or more nights, coordination is simply more direct.
How much does luggage transfer cost?+
The price is quoted individually, based on the distance between accommodations and the number of bags. Tell us your stages and dates and we'll reply quickly.
How far do you go?+
From Porto Covo to Lagos, via Vila Nova de Milfontes, Zambujeira do Mar, Odeceixe, Aljezur, Arrifana, Carrapateira, Bordeira and Sagres.
How far in advance should I book?+
As early as possible, especially in spring and autumn when the trail is busiest. Write to us as soon as your itinerary and nights are set.
