The Walk
A short walk from Famalicão on the shrubby slopes of Serra de Pescaria
The walk is along beaten-earth tracks and a stretch of quiet road. The countryside is hilly with a long ascent at the start and one fairly steep, shorter section. The countryside is open with low shrubs and some pine and eucalyptus trees. In wet weather some of the tracks may be muddy and slippery. Bring your poles and wear waterproof shoes.
Timing
The walk is about 6,5 km and is expected to take about 1,5 hours
