Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed, not confirmed" appear on a public listing (OpenStreetMap or the Rota Vicentina partner list) but could not be confirmed on their own website. Vale Seco and São Luís have only a few beds and there are none at Cabo de São Vicente (sleep in Sagres): book ahead, and expect higher prices and minimum stays in July and August.
