I really enjoyed the walk, it's really great if your looking for a peacefull walk, and a certain connection with nature.
A very hidden charm of the city. Nice walking route.

Stainless!
Local óptimo e seguro para actividades desportivas lúdicas e em família o ano todo. Deveriam colocar um WC a meio do percurso. E o cheiro da ETAR quando se sente é desagradável. De resto recomendo a sua utilização diariamente. Os cantoneiros fazem um excelente serviço mantendo os relvados e os trilhos limpos.
