Coffee Stop: After the walk: there are many cafés in São Martinho.
Notes: The supermarket is just off the N242 which by-passes São Martinho do Porto. This is the main road which runs from Alfeizerão to Famalicão via São Martinho do Porto.
If you turn left off the main road at the roundabout, passing the supermarket on your left side, you will find plenty of parking on the road going to the centre.
