Description
Machine-translated from Portuguese.
The hike begins in the Historic Village of Castelo Rodrigo. Circling the Serra da Vieira (symbol of the Santiago pilgrimage), set out to explore 12 kilometers of rural and forest trails filled with legends and natural wonders, such as the flight of the Goshawk or the Golden Eagle. Among the oak and chestnut trees of the woodland leading to the Serra da Marofa, you might just spot a fleeting roe deer or a curious squirrel. Explore the stories of the Via Sacra, a series of small chapels evoking the Mysteries of the Rosary, until you reach Cristo-Rei and the magnificent viewpoint overlooking the village. On your return, your soul will be filled with the essence of Portugal and unforgettable memories.
