It's also very easy to cycle. Some paths along the route toward the nature reserve are fenced off as private property. Therefore, plan time and energy reserves for detours.

These were the "mills" of old, moved by the wind, heavy granite millstones, transformed wheat seeds into flour from which delicious bread was made, which "satisfied" the hunger of those who had little to eat.

Great View!

At the top of the Serra do Louro stand the windmills which, in the not so distant past, were an important industry for processing cereals. The force of the wind hits the open sails, turning an axle, which in turn transmits the rotation to a limestone stone that rotates on another fixed one. These stones, called "millstones", receive the cereal grains between them, transforming them into flour.

Located high on the road towards Setúbal.

The first part is only rocks and it's really hard to cycle, about 200mt. Afterwards it turns into a trail meandering between mills with an amazing view on both sides. Note: at the end of the road, before the rocks, there is a bread shop that I'd recommend.

Good place to have a picnic, stay on the beach, or even take a bath!
