Visit the Trail of the rivers Veiga and Vilalva - Izeda

The route is located between the towns of Izeda and Calvelhe, in a plateau limited to the West by the Ribeira de Vilalva and to the East by the Ribeira da Veiga.
In Izeda, the route begins next to the current building of the Parish Council, where once the Primary School functioned. When you arrive at Fonte das 3 Bicas, take the left for Largo do Salgueiro and then for Rua de Santa Eulália, then take a rural road, on the right, that rises between agricultural fields. The valley of Ribeira de Vilalva to the left appears and soon after rounding the mount of the Retorta (highest point of the route), begins to descend towards Calvelhe.
From Calvelhe, descend to a small tributary of Ribeira da Veiga, following along the same one in the direction of Cabeço Pelado. Before we round this mountain, we find the mouth of two other small streams. The route continues towards Izeda, going up or down between pasture and cultivation zones. The final section is flanked by extensive olive groves.

Visit the Chapel of Santo Apolinário - Izeda

The Chapel of Santo Apolinário is located in the Parish of Izeda. The temple does not have any feature worth highlighting, except reuse, as a support of a front porch, two columns and respective capitals with a Roman typology.
For this reason the place where this chapel is situated is attached to a Roman site, although on the surface, in its vicinity, no other material remains that indicate the presence of an old settlement.
