Stage 8

Arrifana to Carrapateira
6 hours · 19 km · 400 m gain
Another 6-hour stage to Carrapateira along open cliffs and wide Atlantic views. This is classic Fishermen's Trail terrain: wind, gorse, and long horizons with the path rarely far from the edge.
Carrapateira is small and spread out. Confirm where you're sleeping before you arrive - addresses can be confusing on first visit.
