Visit the Pedestrian Path of the Well of the Bells - Sarzedas

The Poço dos Sinos Route Pedestrian Trail starts at the Casa do Povo da Grade and then goes through olive groves and small family gardens to the village of Casal Novo.
In this village silence reigns, the uninhabited but preserved houses receive those who pass by. We head for the pine forest, along the banks of the river between willows and alders, among centuries-old bushes and olive trees forgotten by the owners, who once took their income, towards Ribeira da Magueija.
The path takes us to Ribeira do Goulo. Here too, nature has taken the place of the traditional olive grove planted by the ancestors of those who still live in neighboring villages. It is in this stream that ahead we will find the Poço dos Sinos Bridge that has legends and stories to discover with those who can tell them. The Santo Ildefonso Chapel is our next stop after being left behind by the company of man-planted olive and cork oaks.
From Santo Ildefonso we return to Ribeira, which houses the old wine press on the bank, of which only the greens that grind the olives remain. Let's find Pereiro Mill and Casal Novo Mill where we can go in and learn how the cereal was ground. We are now back at Grade and its cultivated fields where this route ends, in the same place from where we started.
