Vale do Tedo

The PR1 – Vale do Tedo is a short hiking trail that begins at Granja do Tedo and climbs up the Vale de Figueira, initially along a cobblestone path to the EN 514. After crossing the highway, it continues along a farm road, with a lush valley appearing on the hiker’s left, where vegetable gardens mingle with orchards, elderberry bushes, and vine trellises.
Once you reach Vale de Figueira, take some time to explore the village. After the visit, climb up a forest road to the mountains (821 m above sea level) and then pass through Corças, where the descent to Pinheiros begins. Here, among other attractions, be sure to visit the rock engravings at Cabeço das Pombas.
The descent into the Tedo Valley then begins along a centuries-old path that winds downhill, passing by the Quinta das Cruzes, after which you take a well-maintained cobblestone path to Ribeira de Goujoim. After crossing the bridge, next to the cemetery, you’ll find the markings for the GR14—“European Wine Route”—along which the PR1 also runs.
The trail climbs alongside the Tedo River—cultivated floodplains, the ancient baths of D. Maria, elderberry trees, orchards, vineyard trellises, and, shortly thereafter, Granja do Tedo.
(Note: Since this is a loop trail, you can also start in Vale de Figueira or Pinheiros).
