São Miguel

This small circular route begins in Largo de Santo António,  in the village of Maia. Head South along a dirt road known as Pedra Queimada and follow the waymarks until you reach the regional road.

Continue by walking parallel to the road, enjoying the view over the North Coast, village of Maia, Ponta Formosa and Ponta do Cintrão.

Proceed along the trail downwards by the Lajinha way, among agricultural fields until you reach the road again – Rua do Rosário – with the fountain Velha on your right (spring water).

Before starting the trail, make sure you are suitable equipped. Begin the walk near the Casa da Água - Trail Point, an old milk post transformed into a support facility for hikers, to promote the municipality of Lagoa and environmental awareness.
