Espinhal 최고의 러닝 경로

I visited in mid-June 2025 and was surprised at how much water was still running. How nice that we had a rainy winter.

Candal is part of the so-called "Serra da Lousã", an area characterized by lush nature and breathtaking landscapes. This village is a typical example of the "aldeias de xisto" (schist villages), built entirely with local stone, which integrate harmoniously into the surrounding environment. Candal offers an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, with its traditional houses, waterways and paths surrounded by vegetation.

Castanheira de Pêra is nestled in a mountainous and wooded territory, dominated by pine and eucalyptus forests, known for its natural and landscape richness. The municipality is especially appreciated for its numerous river beaches and natural pools, fed by the watercourses that cross it.

Coentral is a small village nestled in a mountainous and wooded landscape, a typical example of inland villages, where nature reigns supreme and life flows at a more tranquil pace. This area is characterized by unspoiled natural beauty, with dense pine and eucalyptus forests, deep valleys and waterways. The village itself retains the charm of traditional architecture, with stone houses that blend harmoniously into the landscape.

Beautiful and relaxed route

Scary but rewarding climb

Nestled in Serra da Lousã, on a hill facing south, the village of Candal is strategically placed next to Estrada Nacional 236, which connects Lousã to Castanheira de Pera. This village is used to receiving visitors. The climb to the viewpoint, through the sloping streets, is rewarded with a beautiful view over the valley through which Ribeira do Candal winds. Next to the road there is a fountain with drinking water and also a cafe / restaurant.

An original mountain village. Here, too, many houses have already been abandoned.
