Visit the Pedestrian Trail of the Pombais - Macedo do Mato

The Pedestrian trail of the pombais begins in the width of the Parish of Macedo of the Mato, goes towards West until finding the Ribeira de Vale of Crasto, that accompanies downstream. When you reach a junction, take the left, then take the right path that climbs between the olive grove. At the next cut, descend to the Regato do Borteal, which we cross, rounding Cabeço da Barreira on the right and following in the direction of Sanceriz. When passing the center of the village you can see several diving sources, pigeons, the pillory and the Mother Church. A diversion to the Sanceriz watermill is also possible. At the exit of the village, head around Cabeço da Forca on the right, descending to Ribeira de Vilalva and following a rural road that accompanies this river to Frieira (upstream). As you cross the Romanesque bridge, another watermill, recently restored, appears to our left. Going forward, there is the chapel of S. João, the Mother Church and the pillory of Frieira.
When you get to the cruise, take the left path that leads the walker back to Macedo do Mato. Again we find Olival and Ribeira de Crasto Valley that we now follow upstream.
