Itinerary description
Percurso urbano, e por isso com alguns troços em estrada de alcatrão, com inicio e termino na Régua, em que, encosta acima, chega-se ao miradouro do Loureiro.
O miradouro do alto de Santo António é uma varanda sobre a Régua, de onde o caminhante pode apreciar a imponência da paisagem do Douro, dos vinhedos e não só… Com a serra do Marão à vista, os olhares ficam presos e o espírito sobressaltado pela imponência e rudeza dos penhascos. As Quintas de Santa Júlia (séc. XVIII), Torre (séc. XVIII) e de Travassos, onde viveu a Ferreirinha, são motivos para demorar mais algum tempo nesta paisagem deslumbrante, de que fazem parte Peso da Régua, Salgueiral, Godim e Jugueiros.

Really beautiful views! A couple of the paths were quite over grown and a few of the locals looks strangely at my when I kept walking :) but those were fun adventures. Also there were a couple houses with some intense dogs that weren’t chained or behind fences. Otherwise an awesome hike!! I can’t believe the tourism office here said that there were no trails in the whole area (???).
très belle rando .Merci

Just completed 90% of the trail listed 2 days ago. For a couple of home-confined folks with little fitness this seemed like a tough trail but we took plenty of rests to replenish our energy. A couple of comments are spot on. Some part of the trail has really tough overgrowth and is difficult to cut through, so wear the right clothes and cover your arms and legs to protect from the thorny bushes. Secondly, there are 5-6 times when we encountered aggressive and unleashed dogs on our walk, so carry a stick with you if you're not a dog person. The view from the top is amazing though. Thanks for the original poster for sharing this gem with the community.
Super rando qui passe permet de voir plusieurs environnement, et une vue à 360 degrés. Il y a par contre plusieurs tronçons de route.

Not very easy to follow the trail as some parts of the path did not exist or was closed (maybe because of us being there off season). As other have pointed out some dogs were quite frightening. The path is really most on roads and quite steep in the beginning.
Nice scenery though!
