Torres Vedras – Castro do Zambujal (tvd01L)

Walk largely follows PR4 TVD – Rota do Castro The Rota do Castro do Zambujal is a circular route with a length of about 13 km.
Fabulous loop south of Torres Vedras with historic site along the way. Mostly on country roads with some good ascents and descents for camino training and a charming town or two.  Some unmanicured, prickly, single file sections, challenging for dogs and shorter clothing. Castro do Zambujal is a fortified Copper Age or Chalcolithic settlement dating from the 3rd millennium BC.
