From a subdued start at the Foz cemetery, the walk picks up pace as it courses through the dirt-packed, tree lined path toward the Variante Atlântica (Atalantic road). After a brief stop at the curbside, the walk continues on the other side of the Variante Atlântica with a fairly steep climb up to the grassy plateau above Foz and Serra. On the plateau, walkers meander along dirt/sand/grass tracks before descending to the hamlet of Zambujeiro. After a short interlude on tarmac, the walk then returns to a dirt, tree lined track and climbs back-up to the plateau, passing a picturesque spot with a Parque de Merendas (picnic park) with running stream. The walk is circular, returning to Foz via a different track from the walk start, and descends steeply back into Foz. The track, in parts, could be muddy and puddled if rain has fallen recently; as a result, walking sticks may help those who rely on them.
The walk is about 7 km and is expected to take about 2 hrs
