Itinerary description

This trail started in Eido, and was a beautiful circular 14.4 km. We decided to go in an anti-clockwise direction in order to have an easier climb, however we would suggest climbing clockwise next time. The first half provided a lot of shade, powerful water channels (levadas) , and we were lucky to enter the Trout Farm after 2.9 kms. The ruined Mines were at the 5.2 kms mark. Passing the "Fonte da Colina do Sol" you follow a panoramic path in a contour line, close to an altitude of 900 meters with breathtaking views. After passing the ruined forest Guard House you follow the Rio Marão down through the trees, over a few small bridges, for some spectacular photos. Afterwards, a one km section down to the flyover (11.5 kms) is slightly complicated underfoot but the rest of the trail is good.
We spent a lot of extra time on this walk just enjoying the day, visiting the trout farm, and a nice picnic.
Rated Easy 5/5
