Hiking
This path descends through the valley of the River Bestança along one of the old roads that lead to the Prado area. The Bestança rises at Portas de Montemuro and flows into the Douro: 13.5 kilometres of crystal-clear water, it is one of the purest rivers in Europe.
Its ecological balance sustains otters, trout and genets, while since ancient times, mills scattered throughout the valley have used its waters to grind cereals, especially corn, preserving a valuable rural heritage.
