PR1 Montemuro Paths

Along these paths, you’ll pass the highest point in the entire Arouca Geopark territory – the Pedra Posta Geodesic Landmark. The landscapes are breathtaking from start to finish. The Montemuro mountain range seems to be just around the corner, the villages we pass through (which are still alive) and the view over the parish of Alvarenga, from the Senhora do Monte Sanctuary (the place of departure and arrival), are just a few (good) reasons to set off.

Other points of interest: Senhora do Monte and S. Pedro do Campo Sanctuaries; Bustelo and Noninha Villages.
