Tips

Following the forest road, near the small peak of Cotil, you enter a forest that holds memories of times gone by. Between abandoned terraces and crumbling stone walls, once forest nurseries, an old shepherd's shelter is hidden. It is the perfect place for a break, a moment of rest and contemplation.

Let your gaze wander over the landscape, where Portuguese oaks, chestnut trees, birches and maritime pines weave the shade and silence of the forest.
