Schist Villages of Lousã Mountain, meio dia de Coimbra
Descrição
Viaje para as Aldeias Schist da Serra DA Lousã, um grupo de pequenas aldeias de pastores espalhadas pelas montanhas. A visita começa na aldeia de Cerdeira, no coração das montanhas. É um lugar de inspiração artística baseado na Escola de Artes e Artesanato que promovem a arte e a criatividade em linha com o silêncio e a riqueza natural circundante. Continuamos pela aldeia de Candal. Situado nas montanhas em uma colina voltada para o sul, o visitante caminha pelas ruas estreitas e íngremes e, do topo do ponto de vista, contempla as belas vistas sobre o vale. A aldeia de Talasnal, a maior e melhor preservada. Descobrir a aldeia pelas ruas estreitas e íngremes da encosta é atemporal. Voltamos a Coimbra depois desta viagem "no tempo" para o nosso ancestral rural.

A Aldeia do Xisto da Cerdeira, bem no coração da serra, distingue-se pela sua beleza natural. É um local de inspiração artística assente na Escola de Artes e Ofícios que promove a arte e a criatividade em sintonia com o silêncio e a riqueza natural envolvente. Perfeitamente reconstruída com casas integradas na paisagem, graças à reutilização de pedras de xisto, argila e madeira castanha.
A Aldeia do Xisto do Candal, a mais bem localizada, desenvolvida e visitada, graças ao seu fácil acesso. Aninhada nas montanhas, numa colina virada a sul, o visitante percorre as ruas estreitas e íngremes e do alto do miradouro contempla as belas vistas sobre o vale.
A Aldeia do Xisto do Talasnal, a maior e mais bem preservada. A aldeia com mais carisma, dotada de um cenário natural que nos faz mergulhar num mundo mágico. Descobrir a aldeia pelas ruas estreitas e íngremes da encosta é intemporal. Há ruelas para descobrir, escadas para subir ou descer e varandas para admirar. Aqui a Natureza e a mão Humana unem-se.

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.
