Alcobaca

The Walk

A circular walk around Aljubarrota & Cadoiço

From the village of Aljubarrota and then the outskirts of the village of Cadoico.

This walks begins with the significance of Aljubarotta to the birth of Portugal as a nation. Aljubarotta is famous for the battle of 14 August 1385 when Portugal first established independence from the Castilian Kingdom. Hence the significance of the timing of this walk. It’s a combination of country and village roads and bush tracks.
