Passadiços São Martinho de Coura - Ladeiras do Coura

By the Coura, on granite walkways

A short and immersive trail, allowing the hiker to discover the untouched beauty of the Coura slopes.

It is a short but clean and rewarding trail. We are sunk into the slope, well below the road level, and the groove in the mountain creates the impression of being enclosed where only water was the way. The waterfalls provide noise and would prevent navigation; this is, therefore, a virgin place, existing for eternity almost without anyone, now revealing its purity as if it came directly from the beginning of the world.
