Visit the Pedestrian Walk of Serra da Nogueira - Nogueira (Bragança)

The route starts in Sortes, next to the Mother Church, then taking the Tua Line in the direction of Remisquedo. When you reach the stop, follow the N15 to reach the tunnel that crosses the IP4. Once again on a rural road, the route goes to Cruzeiro das Almas. A few meters later, we pass by a dive fountain and we are in the center of the village. There is an opportunity to visit the Parish Church of Mós (baroque style), and a community Forge. The return to Sortes is in the direction of the Paçó de Sortes, passing in the vicinity of a quarry. When you leave the Paçó de Sortes, the route will once again cross the IP4, following rural roads until you return to the Tua line, which will take you back to Sortes.
Already in the final stretch, it passes through the building of the old railway station of Sortes (the second station of the Line of the Tua, in the sense Bragança - Tua), which was recently renovated and currently serves as the seat of Parish Council.
