Circular walk |
Beginning at Fonte Nova on the north eastern outskirts of
Alegrete the path winds up a little skirting pine and some
eucalyptus before descending fairly steeply down a track into a more
pastoral setting of farmland with grazing sheep.
Across the Ribeira da Arronches and cultivated fields, through
hamlets with quaint alentejan one story houses, vineyards and farms
near Besteiros. Then back over the Ribeira da Arronches again but
this time alongside a rocky gorge whose sound betrays a hidden
waterfall. Finally along lanes and paths and fields and olive
groves back to Alegrete.
A 1/25000 scale walking map is provided showing the walking route.
