Walking is FUN, healthy and it brings you to places you would normally never go!
Dear fellow walker,
So you wanna know where to find the start and finish point of all the walks (free of charge)? Well look for the reservoir (lake with dam) "Barragem da Bravura" (translated: Dam of the Brave"), on the parking is a small restaurant with terrace where everything beginds and ends.
