Visit the pedestrian route of the Route of the Moines - Almaceda

The pedestrian route of the Moinhos Route, located in the parish of Almaceda, begins in Martim Branco, an interesting shale village that is part of the route of the Aldeias do Xisto in Castelo Branco.
From here we head towards the village of Camões where, through pine trees, we arrive at the place where the landscape presents olive plantations.
After the passages of the river of the Magueija next to the village Camões and goes to Malhada of the Cervo traversing the old levadas that took the water to the lands once cultivated.
In Malhada do Cervo it goes to Ribeira da Magueija. It is here that you find a rodizio mill, next to the bridge that leads to the right bank of the river. This shale-roofed mill, although currently lined with cement, is an example of the type of local construction that used the materials available in nature.
Returning to Martim Branco, the trail continues through the pine forest that leads to Ribeira do Goulo, where we can still see centuries-old olive trees already covered with weeds. The final part of the route is made by forest paths flanked by forest and agricultural lands that lead to the starting point.
