The walk begins at the church in Vale de Maceira, located on the N8 between Caldas da Rainha and Alfiezerão. We follow rural roads through the village of Casal da Ponte. From there we walk along one of the many irrigation canals built in the 1600’s by the Marquis de Pombal to drain what was once the Sea of Alfeizerão. We then turn south into the farmland that was recovered from the marshy sea and follow rural roads along pastures, orchards and eucalyptus forests eventually returning to Vale de Maceira. Much of the walk is on dirt tracks that can be muddy after heavy rain.
The walk is about 5,75 km and is expected to take about 1.5 hours
