Between Padrão and Porta Cova, the terraces of the Vez Valley wind their way down the hillside like ancient steps carved into the mountain. Created by human hands to tame the earth, today they offer a magical setting for running: a path of ancient, irregular slabs that tests you and fills your eyes. Here, each step echoes ancient stories. It is no coincidence that this rural wonder was consecrated as one of the “7 Wonders of Portugal”.
