The Rota Vicentina is made up of two roads: **the Historical Way**, which seeks to restore the old path used by pilgrims, travelers and citizens throughout the region, and **the Fishermen’s Way**, which shows the importance of fishing along the coast, the main economic activity that has always supported the locals.

During this 5-day trek, we will be hiking on the Historical Way, which has been certified as a ***Leading Quality Trail – Best of Europe*** by the the E.R.A. – European Ramblers Association, a certification given to the best hiking destinations in Europe.
