Both Piódão and Foz d'Égua are accessible by car. But it's worth hiking the trail that connects them. It takes about 45 minutes, downhill from Piódão to Foz d'Égua (remember that the return is a slight climb). It's worth crossing the restored suspension bridge in Foz d'Égua before returning to Piódão. The Foz d'Égua pool is a popular spot for a dip in its very cold waters. Dipping your feet in the icy water of the stream is always very pleasant after a hike, immersing yourself in nature. I did it and recommend it. 👍🥾

Piódão belongs to the network of Historic Villages of Portugal. The town (village) of Piódão, the urban center and the parish headquarters, has been classified as a Property of Public Interest since 1978.[3] Pedestrian trails of extraordinary beauty.👍🥾🦯

This area has been hit by a serious forest fire in recent weeks.

This road offers you breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain landscapes, characterized by dense forests, deep valleys and agricultural terraces.

Fajão is nestled between the Serras del Açor and de la Lousã, and stands out for its unique architecture, made mainly of schist (xisto), the local stone that gives it a dark color and a characteristic appearance, making it one of the famous "schist villages" of the region. Fajão also has a parish museum that exhibits sacred art and objects of daily life, and boasts a history linked to the Resistance during the Salazarist regime.

Nestled along the banks of the Alva River, Côja is immersed in a green environment, surrounded by mountains and forests. The village is characterized by traditional architecture, a charming Roman bridge and a peaceful atmosphere.

Nestled in the Açor mountains, near Piódão, the river beach of Foz d’Égua is an enchanted corner that comes alive in the summer. Where the Piódão and Chãs d’Égua streams meet, a natural pool is formed, surrounded by rustic bridges, old mills and shale everywhere.

Piódão, the charming schist village with blue doors, is still home to around 170 inhabitants. It is said that the blue doors came about by chance (it was the only colour available) and ended up becoming a tradition. In the centre, next to the square, there is a small, lively café and a restaurant serving regional dishes. The car park is at the entrance to the village (there are around 50 spaces) and there are public toilets right in the centre, everything ready for a peaceful visit to this living postcard of the mountains.
