Selected alternatives for you
The Historic Path of Castelo Novo passes through magnificent landscapes woven over millennia by the rhythms of human settlement. The place nestles in the lap of Gardunha and its boundaries and growth were shaped by a valley, once full of life always in balance, with surprising ruggedness of the bare slopes of the Serra.

Heading north to the Alpreade stream, the route continues along the stream’s edge towards Cabeço da Forca. It continues circling the village by the Chapel of Santa Ana, going up to the Alardo parking lot, where you can get another view of the Castle and the surrounding area. Enter the village via narrow streets between granite houses until Lagariça. Continue until the Town Hall and the Pillory, returning to the starting point.
