Aigra Nova is one of the reasons I moved to Portugal. I especially enjoy it in the winter, when prolonged rain tricks me into thinking I live in Scotland. 

Join us. We'll meet at the parking just before the Aigra Nova village (unless you need a lift from Coimbra, then comment below), at 11. We won't be not in rush, let's tak it easy–count 3 to 4 hours in the nature.

The secluded village up in the Lousã Mountains is where we'll start. There is a local gift shop, with a cake and a coffee, that we can visit before we'll start the walk, and preferably after (for a second cake).

It's a circular, eight-kilometers-long walk on a steep terrain, so bring snacks and good shoes. We'll walk through two Xisto villages: Aigra Velha and Pena. Both are secluded with open mountain views, calm, and eerie atmosphere. And between, pine and eucalyptus forest, a beautiful stream, and rocky crags.

It's a dog and kid (8+) friendly walk.
