Rota Ribeira da Magueija – Sarzedas

The Ribeira da Magueija Trail is a linear route that isn’t very long. It takes you through three villages in the parish of Sarzedas and can be hiked in the direction of Rapoula to Malhada do Cervo or Malhada do Cervo to Rapoula.

In this case, the hike began in Rapoula, a picturesque village with scattered houses but whose residents know how to and enjoy welcoming visitors from out of town. We will now continue along the right bank of the Magueija stream. It is along this route that we come across a cluster of uninhabited houses known as “Penteado.”

We leave Rapoula and Penteado behind as we head toward Azenha de Baixo, which we’ll reach via trails and farmland.

To reach our next destination, Malhada do Cervo, we’ll take the path that leads us into the pine forest, leaving the Magueija stream behind.
