Walk from the town to Vila Nova de Milfontes lighthouse is a long tradition rooted in the local population and is certainly a small tour that is worth undertake.

If you start the tour from the historic town center you can get to know much of its historic heritage and landscape: Nossa Senhora da Graça Church, Barbican and São Clemente Fort and finally Marginal Avenue, which offers fantastic insights into Mira Mouth.

The River Mira Mouth is constantly changing and a watchful eye allows you to see all the little differences that arise overnight, transmitting more beauty to a landscape that is always fascinating.
