Hiking

The ruins are no longer being worked on. The path is officially still closed. The footbridge at the end is so badly damaged that you can no longer walk on it.

Hiking

The ruins of São Jorge lie above the north coast, their crumbling walls and overgrown stones telling the story of this small town's past. Between the ancient ruins, glimpses of the Atlantic Ocean and the steep, verdant slopes of the coastline repeatedly open up. The spot is ideal for a short break, to take photos, and to soak in the blend of history and seascape.
