Introducing our New Associates

3 reading time

They joined us in the first half of 2025

We’re thrilled to bring back the feature dedicated to the newest Members of Rota Vicentina!

Rota Vicentina is made up of kilometres and kilometres of walking and cycling trails spread across the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast. Throughout this vast territory, our partner businesses are also scattered—some further north, others further south—but all play a key role in the network of essential services that support the experience of discovering this unique corner of Portugal and Europe.

We continue to believe that one of our greatest strengths lies in working as a network. The more we get to know each other, the stronger the bonds between all members of the Association become, and the more powerful and effective our collective work grows.

During the first semester of 2025, the following Partner Businesses joined Rota Vicentina:

Restaurants

TheCova Funda,in Almograve, specialising in grilled dishes, charcoal-cooked fish and meat. Welcome, Ivan!

And theEattico – Pesce di Strada,in Lagos, highlighting traditional Italian fish recipes in sandwiches and tapas. Hello Cláudia and Pietro!
