Pelo património vivo de Mourão

Start next to the Mourão Tourist Information Center, in Largo de São Bento, and head up Estrada da Barca, turning at the top onto Rua Frei António das Chagas until you reach the Castle, which you should visit. Leave the castle and walk around the outer walls toward the north; from there, turn right along the old moat. Follow a trail between the walls toward the Chapel of São Sebastião. Go around the chapel and descend a short distance, then reverse direction in a wide left turn, taking the path between the walls that runs parallel to the water’s edge. Continue until you reach the old paved road and turn left onto the old Estrada da Barca until you come to another path running perpendicular to it, where you’ll turn right. Walk downhill between the walls along this path, which becomes a dirt track further ahead. Continue straight ahead, cross another old paved road, and keep going until you reach the tip of a small peninsula. At this point, the paths to follow are always dependent on the water level. After reaching the tip, turn left, following the shoreline until you once again reach the old road, next to a house. Follow the road to the right and turn left at the first turnoff after the quarry. Climb up between the walls until you reach Estrada da Barca, then descend to the Tourist Information Center. Continue on the urban route, passing through Praça da República, walking past the Church of São Francisco, turning right onto Rua João José Vasconcelos Rosado and Rua da Pedreira to the end, then turn right again onto Rua da Lapa, turn right onto Rua Dr. Silvestre Vasconcelos Rosado, and continue along Rua do Norte, Rua 9 de Abril, and back to Praça da República, where your tour ends.
