Description
Machine-translated from Portuguese.
We begin the route at the square in front of the Parish Council building and walk through part of the village toward Longas. From here, we continue on to Vale Lobos, leaving the urban area behind and entering the countryside, which is divided into plots of land cultivated by the local people.Following this trail, we pass through Paúles, go by the “Charca”—a small lake in the middle of the fields—and arrive at Catujeiras, continuing toward Parque das Merendas, a pleasant spot where you can take a short break for a light, refreshing snack and enjoy the surroundings.We climb up the Vale da Guerra; in this part of the route, farmland gives way to vast expanses of vineyards producing the region’s much-loved wine, the pride of local producers. At the top, a landscape of rare beauty unfolds before our eyes, with the Serra de Montejunto as a backdrop. Wherever we look, everything is green and radiant. Surrounded by all this beauty, we continue toward Casal Almeida, Mosqueireira, Achadas, Valadas, Ponte dos Coices, and Casal do Coelho, re-entering the village and passing by one of the parish’s landmarks, the restaurant “O Baile.” We can take a short detour to visit the Cabeço do Moinho Lookout, and once again, Maçussa lies at our feet.To finish the route, we pass by the parish church and the Fonte da Bica fountain on our way to Largo da Junta.
