Walk location: This is a long walk (3 hrs, 10km) along the valley, inland from Alfeizerão.
The Walk: The walk follows the valley of the river Alfeizerão, then a detour uphill to the village of Mosqueiros. The path descends to the river valley and we continue upstream, crossing the river near to Casal Velho and following the river back to Alfeizerão.
There are two sections of quiet road walking.
NB the last time we did this walk the bridge was down a Casal Velho so we had to make a diversion. Following the walk in the reverse sense and making a new route to Mosqueiros should be investigated.
Timing: The walk is about 11 km and is expected to take about 3 hrs.
Car Meeting Point: The car park of the Pão do Ló café, close to the Alfeizerão A8 autoestrada exit, at 09:30 am. See the Notes section below for directions.
