A country-wide walking route could help take the pressure off tourist-packed hotspots, while bolstering the economy of regions that are still relatively unknown to travellers. Such is the plan in Portugal, which is developing the world’s largest circular walking route, the first part of which is opening this summer.
From Lisbon, the Douro Valley and the Algarve to lesser-known corners such as the mountainous Tras-Os-Montes region – if you thought you’d seen everything in Portugal, then get set to explore this new circular walking route, promising to take visitors off the beaten track.
