Description
Machine-translated from Portuguese.
The trail begins in the center of Revezes, next to the fountain. It heads north to the Vascãozinho stream. It crosses the stream and continues north along it for just under 1,000 meters. It crosses the stream again and runs parallel to it through open countryside until it reaches the junction leading to Monte dos Corvos. About 150 m further on, it passes the first junction for Monte Pereirinha, and here the trail begins to veer away from the watercourse, slightly to the east. It crosses another access path to the hill, crosses a small tributary of the Vascão, and reaches a junction that provides access, to the left, to Monte Novo da Matosa and Moinho da Cascalheira. The route continues to the right, heading south, along a path that leads to these hills, heading toward Vale da Moita. Before reaching this hill, you’ll encounter a steep descent leading to the Barranco da Lontra. From this point to Vale da Moita, it’s 2.5 km, all through a valley lined with cork oaks, holm oaks, and dense rockroses.Upon leaving Vale da Moita, just 150 meters away, the route veers off the main path to the southwest, toward Pulo do Lobo, one of the highest points in this region (410 meters). It skirts it to the south and returns to the Ribeira do Vascãozinho, which you will follow northward until you reach Monte da Palmeira. Here begins a long climb, passing to the right of this hill and, further on, a pond. On the left, you’ll find the main access road to Revezes and a steep descent leading to the village.
