Hiking

Piodao, the village made of slate with the blue doors, there are still around 170 residents living in the village. Why only blue doors: because at the time there was only blue as a color to choose from, the whole village decided that all the doors would be painted blue. There is a restaurant in the village and on the village square there is also a small café with busy waiters. Parking is outside (there are around 50 parking spaces), there is a public toilet right on the village square, so perfect conditions for visitors.

Hiking

Piódão is a particularly well-preserved, historic village worth a visit. If you're looking for peace and quiet and enjoy hiking, you've come to the right place. Although the historic village of Piódão doesn't hold any particular significance in Portugal's history, it has recently become an increasingly popular tourist attraction, perhaps due to its beautiful location in the Serra do Açor.
