This route connects two villages—Barcos and Santa Leocádia. Barcos is a very old village in Tabuaço, boasting a rich architectural heritage and recently designated as a “Wine-Growing Village.” Santa Leocádia is a beautiful, traditional village overlooking the Tedo River. Between the two there is a significant elevation gain, but it’s well worth the effort because the landscape is magnificent and the natural surroundings are bountiful. Mediterranean forest, streams, traditional fields, and the Douro vineyards are some of the pieces of this natural puzzle that we will explore, walking along some beautiful trails of ancient cobblestone paths.
