Caminho do Xisto de Água Formosa

The Água Formosa Schist Trail is a 7.43-km loop trail with gentle terrain that is accessible to visitors. It follows the old trails once used by millers and farmers as they made their way to the watermills and the woodlands surrounding the Galega and Valada streams. 

The trail follows the stream, leading us to an old olive oil press and passing by water channels and weirs. From this point to the village of Vilar Chão, we walk through a pine forest, rejoining the path we had already taken when we left Água Formosa.
