Visit the pedestrian route of the Rota dos Lagares - Almaceda

The pedestrian route of the Rota dos Lagares, located in the parish of Almaceda, is circular and takes us to old olive oil mills, traditionally known as Lagares de Varas. The route begins near the ruins of the first winery of sticks, it follows along the riverside of Almaceda that shelters in its olive groves and small gardens exquisitely cultivated family. It is in this river that is the second winery of sticks, also this almost in ruins but where you can still see all the constituent parts of the mill through its windows half open.
We leave behind the agricultural fields and we retrace our path through pine forest and new forest plantations that will take us to the last winery of this route, the wine cellar of Rochas de Cima, recently recovered so that it can be visited and make known to its visitors the process of oil extraction in Beira Baixa before the emergence of more recent and industrialized processes.
The route goes to Rochas de Cima before heading to the village of Violeiro. In this village is the obligatory stop of the dive source of fresh and crystalline waters that during years, still in the last century, was place of public supply.
Finally the route crosses forest paths that lead to Almaceda and the end of this route.
