The walking path of the Forest and Biodiversity starts in Carrazedo and heads in the direction of Zoio. The first 700 meters coincide with the Carrazedo - Alimonde route. Soon after the beginning of the Biodiversity Station of Carrazedo, the routes separate and this one goes in the direction of the Site of the Pombeira, entering a wood of negral oak. You will pass the Florestal House of Pombeira and finish the forest, followed by agricultural paths to the village of Zoio. After visiting the village, take the direction of Martim, and when you reach Casa Florestal, return to Carrazedo by forest path.

Visit the Shrine of Our Lady of the Annunciation - Serapicos
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Annunciation is a Marian sanctuary located in the parish of Serapicos.
Although it is not known when the original chapel was built, it is known that it was built in thanks to the inhabitants of the village, after one of them, who was returning home on a winter day in a cart drawn by a yoke, was surprised by hungry wolves. In distress, the man begged the help of Our Lady, and the wolves retired without doing any damage to either of their two animals.
The chapel, under the invocation of Our Lady of the Warning, already existed in the late seventeenth century and was served by a confraternity of the same name. The confraternity dates back to 1726, because at that time it was already enriched with indulgences.
The primitive chapel, damaged by time, was replaced by the current one, in the same place, around 1890.
The pilgrimage procession takes place annually on the first Sunday of June.
Exemplary religious architecture. It integrates eight temples allusive to the ordeal.
