The Roman road between Carrazedo and Alimonde
A route along a forest track that is mostly half-shaded. A few sections in full sun. Features a small stream and an ancient bridge. The walk follows a Roman road (Via Augusta) with clear signposting. The difficulty is generally moderate, with a few more challenging sections, particularly in hot weather. Take care during the summer months in Portugal.
