On the Schist trail

Tejo-Ocreza

This activity offers a programme in the Schist Village of Água Formosa and its pedestrian route, which is part of the Schist Paths network. There is still evidence of ancient traditions, such as the various wood stoves scattered throughout the village, with signs also of traditions linked to the use of water power, in a natural setting that shows the best of the relationship between Man and Nature. You'll know where the name of this village comes from when you see the fountains of beautiful water. On this route you can enjoy the scenery, especially along the riverside of the Ribeira da Galega.

I arrived in this area for professional reasons related to forestry. I found the features of the local landscape much more exciting than anything else I had found in the country. I worked with other local tourist companies until, in 2015, I decided to set up my own project. I really like to give a personal stamp and a different service, to show that this territory has enormous treasures to see and explore, that only a local company will be able to unearth and show.
