Here you ride on a beautiful gravel road with a wide and flat surface. On one side you have fields and on the other a thick forest.

This elevated location is particularly appreciated for its uninterrupted view, which extends over an accumulation of reliefs and depressions, creating a dynamic and engaging landscape. In addition to being a breathtaking observation point, Cabeço da Azinha is also an important site for air sports enthusiasts, as it hosts a paragliding runway that hosts national and international events. Its elevated position also makes it a strategic point for the fire observation post, Ponto de Vigia Gorgulão. The local flora is rich and varied, with species such as the kermes oak (azinha, from which it takes its name), heather and rosemary, which contribute to the wild beauty of the place.

The village is famous for its granite houses, cobbled streets and its imposing medieval castle, which offers spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. Legend has it that Folgosinho was founded by Lusone, grandson of Noah, which adds a touch of mysticism to its already fascinating history.
