Ibericorama Day 3 - A Fool’s Paradise

Hiking the Rota Vicentina
Rota Vicentina.com
Farol do Cabo de São Vicente to Vila do Bispo


The calm retreat, the silent shade,

With prayer and praise agree;

And seem, by Thy sweet bounty made,

For those who follow Thee…

    - William Cowper


We are walking the Rota from South to North. ( It is signed in both directions.)  The first two-thirds of Day one hugs the coastline with spectacular views.  Immediately from the lighthouse you encounter a difficult bouldered path, but luckily this did not last very long.  The final third is through farmland as you veer east into Vila do Bispo.

Today’s painting study of one of the windmill structures in Vila do Bispo can be found on Instagram.

Why is this a fools paradise? It looks like paradise to me. Opps!

I'd like to see the approximate distance you hike each day! Do you start early or is there a goal for each day (other than making it to the next place to spend the night)?
