Tips
The Calçada de São Lourenço holds mysteries of the past, with uncertain origins and dates. It is believed to have been an ancient Roman road, connecting the village of Pombal to the São Lourenço thermal baths, on the left bank of the Tua River. Its winding path masterfully follows the slope of the hillside, creating a route that is both strategic and picturesque. At the end, you will find the old thermal baths and the disused railway station, with the railway now submerged by the waters of the Foz Tua dam, but still present in the memory of the landscape.
