Hi Rui! Thank you and Susanna so much for having me to stay last night. And for your routes. I chose the first one and didn't go into Serpa as I had a packed lunch with me.
I loved the route! The section from the big bridge up to my accommodation was my favourite! The gravel wasn't too hard after then

Two hours of happiness, hiking near Caiat. If you book in advance with Mr. Daniel Pinto, you can have food and sleep in this little village. Beautiful views and a 2000m peak in the surroundings (Djebel Kelti).
