Walk location: Near Famalicão, to the north of São Martinho do Porto.
Originator: John.
The Walk: This is about 5 km, a circular route. There is a quite steep ascent though woods to open countryside where there are fine views along the Caldas valley (subject to no sea mist). A walk extension is possible (an extra 1.2 km) to take us to the top of the ridge where there is a level walk to Serra Pescaria.
The walk is along earth tracks and will be uneven in places and, in wet weather muddy, so wear good shoes and bring your poles.
Timing: The actual walk will take about 2 hrs, plus extra for coffee.
Car Meeting Point: Roadside parking (Rua Marechal Carmona) about 100 metres past the Intermarché supermarket in São Martinho do Porto at 10:15 am.
The supermarket is just off the N242 at the roundabout on the north side of São Martinho do Porto. Leave the N242 at the roundabout and head for the centre
