Along the tour we pass through rural paths between several fruit tree plantations, discovering some historical monuments such as Paderne Castle, one of those represented on the flag of Portugal, where you can be dazzled by the view over a Medieval bridge. We visited a windmill 'Moinho do Leitão', with a brief explanation about its characteristic and function. Crossing areas of cork oaks where cork is extracted for the manufacture of regional handicrafts and corks for wine, passing rural villages where we stop to taste local products such as honey and fire water, following the walk where you can dive into the water sources in the Alte stream (subject to conditions).
