Trekking in Portugal in Ribeira de Nisa in the Parque Natural da Serra de São Mamede

Distance	11.3 Km	Grade	Medium
Time	4.5 hours	Type	Circular walk

From the village of Monte Carvalho the path takes the road and then a lane to the east as if heading towards the peak of São Mamede. This takes you past the foot of the fascinating V shaped gorge cut through a ridge of granite along the hill side.

The path ascends taking you anti-clockwise around a hill, Cabeca Gorda, with its panoramic view, then up and along the higher plain amongst ancient chestnut trees.

Zig zag down through a steep granite landscape studded with cork oak with views down the vale.
