The Ribeira Mine Trail starts in Coelhoso, the route descends to the Ribeira de Viveiros, always by a wide road and overlooking the Santa Bárbara Chapel (the patron saint of the miners), and to the Ribeira Mines.
With about 150 years of history, this mine had ups and downs in its exploration. Its golden period was during the Second World War, when it employed about 2,000 people to extract wolfram.
When you pass the Ribeira, you start the ascent to Parada. As we proceed, we begin to observe extensive olive groves, olive groves and livestock being one of the main economic activities of these parishes. Already in the village of Parada we cross the Primary School Street, then take the direction of the Shrine of Our Lady of Carmo. The return to Rabbit is made by rural routes in agricultural area.
