팜필호사 다 세라 최고의 사이클링 경로

Unhais-o-Velho is steeped in history and tradition. Known as the "Queen of Honey," this is where the dense and therapeutic heather honey is harvested. The houses rise on a promontory next to the Unhais River, embraced by giant boulders, while the village's very name echoes legends of ancient peoples and the scavenging deer that left their mark here.

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. 👍🥾

From there you can see Cabril do Ceira. The Ceira River took advantage of tectonic activity that fractured the hard rocks present there, thus creating the Cabril do Ceira Gorge.

This road offers you a suggestive panorama that embraces the artificial lake of the dam and the surrounding imposing and wild mountains.

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.
