The pleasure felt by leisure walks has made way in
discovering places in our memories far gone, paths that connected the
villages and its people. Many of these paths today submerged in dense
vegetation. The open circulation of these pedestrian paths were only
made possible by the precious help of local people. By following some of these paths we plunge into the quotidian past of these people. Visiting farms, catching site of cultivated lands, the strong breeze, and the natural smells, leaves us foreseeing the hard validity of days far gone. The conquering of land on the slope, is a good example, of a staircase of giants on an endless course... |

Its fancy to enliven fully this landscape, but for every walker that passes by, also passes trough the history of these people that settled in these hills, and today unfortunately, see their lands and their homes lived in only by memories. |

 The journey presented connects the village of Piodão
to two places of parish, these are Foz de Égua and Chãs de
Égua.It is a route with a slope not too accentuated, with one or two exceptions. Some of the abandoned houses that cross our path are testimony of the pasturing activities which were often caprine or ovine. In the clearing you can catch sight of the beehives, testimony of the bee-keeping activity, still with some countenance in the region. |
