Visit the Sarzedas Shale Path

The pedestrian trail of the Sarzedas Shale Trail, with a length of 14 km, begins in the Schist Village of Sarzedas, next to the Chapel of St. Anthony and runs along the streets lined with emblazoned houses to the Chapel of St. Sebastian, then following the old Roman sidewalk.
Still in the village, it passes through the Mother Church, its belfry and also the fountain, where the inhabitants went to fetch water and where there is still a laundrette.
Leaving the village, the route crosses areas of pines, cork oaks and oaks until we reach Almoinhas and Rapoula passing near the old Tungsten Mines. Further ahead is the Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene.
Near Sarzedas, and almost ending, the path passes through an oak tree populated with centuries-old trees.
