The Walk
A walk from Arelho along the south side of the head of the Óbidos lagoon
The walk starts in Arelho and goes through cultivated fields to the south side of the Óbidos lagoon. It continues along the lagoon edge and then turns inland along a dirt track. This short walk follows the wide track and the local road to get back to Arelho. Most of the walk is fairly flat with an uphill stretch into Arelho.
Note: This walk is a shortened version of the long walk “lag10L” which is currently unavailable due to the destruction of a bridge during the spring storms.
Please carpool if possible so we don’t fill the neighborhood with our cars.
Timing
The walk is about 8km and is expected to take about 2 hrs, plus extra for coffee.
