Itinerary description
Easy running seasson, half following the road from Alter do Chão to Alter Pedroso and half offroad.
Really nice landscapes.
What is interesting is the possibility to visit the Dolmen "Anta dos Tapadões" it is a burial chamber composed by eight granite pillars in the middle of an amazing holmoak tree terrain.
The Dolmen can be reached following during 300 m. a little path that starts in a door normally closed near the road, this door has two small open lifting doors at right and left hand side to let available the access.
The trail finishes near the Bullring of Alter do Chão

Não é possível fazer este trilho porque o caminho está com vedações
Thanks Gonçalo but, as you can read in the description, there are two small open lifting doors which let you enter. To go out you can see a picture with little pieces of wood attached to a post, this structure will allow you to save the fence.
