Much was destroyed by forest fires, but it is still a beautiful trail with interesting views. There are also millstones in the ruins, which are exciting to look at!

Hiking

At the top of the Serra do Louro stand the windmills which, in the not so distant past, were an important industry for processing cereals. The force of the wind hits the open sails, turning an axle, which in turn transmits the rotation to a limestone stone that rotates on another fixed one. These stones, called "millstones", receive the cereal grains between them, transforming them into flour.
