The colourful walkways of the Trilho dos Gaios start at the river beach of Vale de Gaios and lead you to the ancient Roman Bridge of Sumes. Along the way, you will pass by the winding banks of the Cavalos River, a wild tributary of the Mondego, which hides among the lush vegetation and moss-covered rocks, as if it were something out of a fairy tale. In some parts, it disappears completely under gigantic blocks of granite, with only the gentle murmur of the water revealing its presence.
