A small view of the golf course during my tour.

The Ribeiro do Inferno, the so-called Hell Valley, is paved with paths, but is a little less accessible terrain, especially due to the often slippery paths and uneven surfaces. But it is always doable with hiking boots.

January 17, 2025,🇵🇹 Palheiro Gardens Sightseeing

On the paths of the Palheiro Gardens: Within the 130 hectare Palheiro Estate, we were able to enjoy a pleasant few hours on a circular walk on the nature paths. Listen to the birds. Relax in the gardens. Rediscover several mysterious plants, admire old, familiar plants from home in a new environment. The camellias are in full bloom. Irresistible!
