Vale da Rosa

This trail begins and ends along National Highway 2, near the village of Vale da Rosa. The route winds through several hilly areas of dirt roads and trails, passing first through the village of Maxeirinha and then through Pulo do Cão, before reaching Vale da Rosa. It passes through the Barranco dos Caminhos, as well as the river valleys. It then reaches Macheira, and from there heads toward Cerro Alto. After passing Barranco da Escadavada, the route joins Link 6 of the Via Algarviana (GR13), which comes from Ameixial and continues toward Barranco do Velho. In Vale Luís Neto, the routes diverge; the connection continues straight ahead, while our route turns right toward Monte das Cortiçadas. From here, it continues back to the starting point, which is also its end point.
