Villages de schiste de la montagne Lousã, demi-journée de Coimbra
Description
Voyagez vers les villages de schiste de Serra da Lousã, un groupe de petits villages de bergers répartis à travers les montagnes. La visite commence au village de Cerdeira, en plein cœur des montagnes. C'est un lieu d'inspiration artistique basé sur l'École des Arts et Métiers qui promeut l'art et la créativité en accord avec le silence et la richesse naturelle environnante. Nous continuons à travers le village de Candal. Niché dans les montagnes sur une colline exposée au sud, le visiteur déambule dans les rues étroites et escarpées et du haut du belvédère contemple les belles vues sur la vallée. Le Village de Talasnal, le plus grand et le mieux conservé. Découvrir le village à travers les ruelles étroites et escarpées à flanc de colline est un hors du temps. Nous retournons à Coimbra après ce voyage "dans le temps" chez notre ancêtre rural.

The views are magnificent, the schist villages intriguing, and our guide Monica was amazing! Seeing the recent impacts from fires and storms was also moving.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the magnificent views and found the schist villages so intriguing—these landscapes really are something special. It’s also wonderful to know that Monica made such a positive impression; we’ll be sure to share your feedback with her. The recent impacts from the fires and storms have indeed been very significant, and we appreciate your sensitivity in noticing that part of the journey as well. We hope to welcome you again for another experience in the future! Kind regards, Xavier
It was a rainy and foggy day so that definitely impacted the beauty. But we made the best of it. It was a long drive up winding roads. So I'm sure it's lovely on a sunny day. Would have been nice to sit with a coffee and take it all in!
Yes, in fact we haven't been able to change the weather conditions, yet... :) Thank you for your visit and we look forward to your next one, which will be very sunny so we can sit on the Candal terrace and enjoy the views.
Everything well organized and working 100% s hr nice and interesting tour with lots of local knowledge Very good tour planning
Thank you very much for your comments, I hope to see you on your next visit to Portugal.
It was a great tour off the regular tourist track. Our guide Pedro gave us a lot of history and explanation. He was a wealth of information not just about the villages but Portugal in general. He gave us plenty of time to walk around and take in the beautiful, picturesque villages. Highly recommend if you are in Coimbra.

Hi Sarah, Thanks for you review, I'm glad you liked the villages cheers
Xavier provided a wonderful half day experience. He is very knowledgable , and although he had to change his normal route because of the car rally, we still experienced and enjoyed the villages and the architecture and the scenery. Amazing!

A perfect afternoon with a wonderful guide! Outstanding explanation, Extra comfortable vehicle with super driver. Thank you
Hi It's for these kinds of comments about experiences that we exist... Thanks for the review.
Wonderful scenery, professional guide, comfortable ride to places you could not get to otherwise and are completely worth it. Such an inspiration, yet another lovely hidden corner of Portugal!
Yes, the villages are a hidden paradise that only those who know them can truly show. Unfortunately we didn't have much time; we'll leave a longer visit for next time. Cheers
It was a outstanding trip. Our guide Xavier, was fantastic. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Visited 3 villages, and had a nice coffee and Biera brake. I highly recommend this trip.
