Hiking trail PR19, also known as the 'Royal Path to Paul do Mar,' is a brief excursion that begins with a magnificent view at 550 meters in altitude overlooking the village of Paul do Mar. This route, primarily consisting of zigzag descents, guides you to this charming seaside village.

This hike is not very long, covering less than 2 kilometers. However, it's important to consider the downhill slope, which represents a negative elevation drop of about 520 meters, which can put strain on the knees.

It bears witness to the challenging access of the past, as it was the only alternative to the sea. At the end of the walk, go and explore the community that preserves the fishing tradition and experiences a renaissance thanks to the seaside bars that welcome tourists.
