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.

Visit the Typical Village of Azinheira - Benquerenças

The typical village of Azinheira, located in the parish of Benquerenças, consists of a small house of small size, mostly in ruins, of one or two floors, predominantly the construction in shale. The houses are distributed along two paths that cross north and east-west. The landscape around the village is composed essentially of pines, holm oaks, birches, olive trees and holly trees. There is a close relationship that architecture maintains with the natural environment, which is mainly responsible for the supply of raw materials that served to build the buildings.
The materials used in the roofs are the straw roof tile, the schist slabs and the stem, and shale was also used in the construction of walls and in the walls of the dwellings. In the elaboration of the walls were also used rolled stones that appear interspersed with blocks of shale arranged horizontally, which were then mortared with red clay collected in the place.
The facades usually have an access door and one, or more windows.
In the interiors of some dwellings, usually in low light, the common room with a nook to the fireplace area where it was cooked on the floor stood out. Aldeia da Azinheira, like so many others in the area of ​​Beira Baixa, was marked by a life with a great sense of community, still remaining vestiges of elements very important for the subsistence of the population that once lived here like the well, the source and the oven.
