The Ponte das Tábuas de Balugães (Bridge of the Tábuas of Balugães) is a discreet jewel on the Portuguese Way to Santiago. It spans the serene Neiva River with an elegant trestle arch and boasts a wealth of history: it was mentioned in documents dating back to 1135, likely still made of wood, as the name suggests. The current stone structure is believed to have emerged around the 16th century.

Nearby, a small river beach welcomes locals and travelers from around the world, all with the same goal: to dive in, cool off, and let themselves be carried away by the calm rhythm of the Neiva River's waters.

June 1, 2025,Boucle Vieux pont romain – Pont en planches de Balugães au départ de Cossourado

The hike published on this app is partly false, it takes you through non-existent or completely unmaintained paths, no signs are given, and one path is closed. On the plus side, there is a beautiful view of the valley when you are on the heights.
