Start/finish point at Dr. Azeredo Perdigão plaza next to the iconic fountain. Follows along the village passing close to the distinct Mina (water mine) reaching to the small weir close to the unique “Parque do Rio” (river park) sports and leisure area. Ahead one can find the Jesus Maria José Chapel then leaving the village behind by crossing the National Road 114 and going up, along vineyards, orchards and pinewoods towards t Amoreira ́s hill and its typical and iconic windmills. There the views are breathtaking reaching to the Obidos Tifonic Valley,and its countless vegetable farming operations, Cesaredas limestone plateau, as well as the unique village of Sobral da Lagoa and its quarries, the Queen ́s floodplains and the Atlantic ocean.
From here it starts descending along paths and trails trimmed and shaped amongst mediterranen groves and the limestone landscape, going back to the village crossing close to the peculiar Guarita (sentry house), an historical remain of the manor house “Casa dos Seixos” (pebbles house).
