Itinerary description

(English follows) Esta etapa podría titularse: asfalto, asfalto y más asfalto. Nosotros dejamos el coche en Vila do Bispo y empezamos a caminar. Todo carretera, sin apenas sombra ni nada interesante salvo un par de molinos de viento muy cercanos. Afortunadamente el viento ayuda a soportar el calor. Es imprescindible la crema solar para evitar quemaduras (claro, si la ruta se hace en verano). En un par de lugares se puede abandonar la carretera y caminar por un camino de tierra pero se acaba volviendo al asfalto. Sólo al final del camino está la sorpresa: Carrapateira tiene una plaza pequeña con ambiente de surf, un par de restaurantes y de bares que ayudan a olvidarse de la aburrida etapa. Para volver a recoger el coche se puede usar el taxi del pueblo, que tiene la parada en la plaza. También se puede llamar al taxi de Sagres, señor Salmonete, teléfono móvil +351-917098990. La página oficial de esta Ruta Vicentina es www.rotavicentina.com. Visítales para más datos. Este viaje ha sido organizado por Totally Spain, tu agencia especialista en España y Portugal.

All road, with little shadows and nothing interesting except for a couple of nearby windmills. Fortunately the wind helps to withstand the heat. The sun protection cream is essential to avoid burns (of course, if the route is made in summer). In a couple of places you can leave the road and walk down a dirt road but you will return to the asphalt. Only at the end of the road is the surprise: Carrapateira has a small square with surfing atmosphere, a couple of restaurants and bars that will help to forget about the boring stage. The taxi of the village, which has a stop in the square, can be used to pick up the car. Also you can call the taxi from Sagres, Mr Salmonete, mobile phone + 351-917098990.
