Lisbon Rota Vicentina Vicentine Coast

"We just wanted to sent a heartfelt "Obrigada!!!!!" for such a wonderful trip last week. The hiking was stunning (especially Day 3); the logistics were smooth; the accommodations were lovely. A2Z gave us the structure we needed to make the most of our time out of the city and we are grateful. Thank you again for helping us to see and experience your beautiful country. We will hold onto our memories of the Rota Vicentina for a lifetime!"
