Description
of the program
Leave
the noise and stress of the city and come with us to discover the mountains of Oporto region (Parque das Serras do Porto), close to the neighboring city of
Valongo, where you will walk the "Serra de Stª Justa" along the River Ferreira
until the small picturesque village of Couce (with less than 10 inhabitants).
You will walk calmly in the mountains, surrounded by vegetation, where you can
enjoy magnificent landscapes from the top of the mountain and next to the
river. On the way you will also pass by ancient remains of the Roman gold mines
and water mills. You will also see goats and sheep grazing and some (few)
locals. Halfway through, you will be able to rest and enjoy a tasty picnic with
fruits, snacks, cheeses and sausages from the region.
