Passage of automà ³ vel - approach Extensão 150 km

The departure for this stroll for the transmontana Hot Land becomes of New Village of Estuary Côa. The village gained notoriety with the discovery of the rupestres engravings of the valley of the Côa and with all the polémica that involved its preservação, ameaçada for the barrage of the EDP. It follows in direcção to the Pocinho, the descending left of being a infernal labyrinth: the 10 km são winding but in such a way the floor as the width of the road estão inside of the limits of the decência. Apà ³ s the closing of serviço até Bark Of € ™ White, é here that it finishes the Line it Douro. Who never travelled between Mosteirô and the Régua, Pinhão or Pocinho, in £o knows what it loses: the convoy slides rente the s ¡ guas, following the returns of the river and rounding off of the cabeços. € return, almonds tree, vines and orange groves and one has perfumed candy that goes up of the land to the pôr-do-sun. E, in the end of the Winter, the surprise of the almonds tree in flower.

It crosses the Douro, passing on the barrage of the Pocinho, and takes the road for Macedo de Cavaleiros, IP 2. The passage develops in a first phase throughout the Valley of the Flavor, transformed into a lake due construção of the barrage. € measured that a is gone for sum ¡ guas vão lowering, and arriving the bridge on the flavor and to the shunting line for Tower of Moncorvo (for where it passes in another phase of this stroll) jà ¡ the river came back to its normal aspect. The road começa to go up, leaving right one of the main gicas imperfections geolà ³ of penÃnsula, the imperfection of the Vilariça. In the two edges of the ribeira of the same name some of férteis national lands are placed, rivaling with the fertile valley of Village Little of Aguiar and with hortas of the Pará ³ flies of Varzim.

€ abandons IP 2 “ that in to little it would make it time to arrive the Macedo de Cavaleiros or the Bragança, crossing faldas of the mountain range of Posts € “ and turns for Village Flower, in full transmontana Hot Land.
Village Flower, crà ³ according to nicas, must the name the D. Dinis and é one agradà ¡ vel surprise: an urban set this ¡ relatively preserved and in £o hà ¡ intrusões clamorous of commercial centers of betão nor of € œ maisons⠀ .
‰ for the Douro that if follows this stroll. We follow fantà ¡ stica descending for the river from Vilarinho of the Chestnut tree. Of a side and another one of the narrow slope hà ¡ casinhas of rock that seem saÃdas of a story of fairies, encircled with hortas verdejantes. To arrive at the pôr-do-sun é a experiência inesquecÃvel: the chilreia flock of birds, a convoy starts to whistle in the edge against ¡ laughs, right estação of Freixo of In one £o. The perfume of the laranjeiras involves us and everything the é return bathed for a golden light.

estradão throughout the Douro allows to a stroll of dúzia stocking of quilà ³ meters, enjoying vizinhança of a ¡ guas. For sum, almost até the Barrage of the Pocinho, is the legend ¡ laughs Fifth at the Vesúvio, that was of D. Tapir ³ nia Ferreirinha, célebre matriarca of the wine of the Port. In felt against ¡ river, estradão takes até the s neighborhoods of estação of Yours and the confluência of this with the river Douro.
The bridge returns on the flavor and to the crossing for Moncorvo. Moncorvo presents a fabulosa First Church of três ships (with its quê of Spanish cathedral, for the form of the sineira tower and for the yellowish tone of would sing of granite), remaining portions of the medieval wall and a on museum histà ³ rich exploração of the iron mines (before the industrial politics dictated for integração European, it was arrived to projectar a férrea way for draining of the minério of iron that, leaving Moncorvo, would pass the Douro in the Pocinho and would bind the Line of the Side in Frank Village of Ships).
From Moncorvo, it takes some roads € œ rurais⠀ , but of spectacular floor and width, that cross the Mountain range of the Reboredo, através of landscapes belÃssimas, até Bark Of € ™ White.

Apà ³ s to pass in Maçores and Ligares (a surprise this village, you £o populous and extensive), takes one cut the right of EN 325 that levarà ¡ até to the meeting with EN 221, 2 quilà ³ meters the east of Bark Of € ™ White. Huge the é landscape, developing projecto throughout a pressed valley. One of the points prettiest of this passage is placed in the place where the road crosses the ribeiro: before rock Da Ponte meets, the right, fifth with the rock houses; jà ¡ in the other edge, a outeiro, a set of casinhotos to ask for to tiring but rewarding scaling pé. The valley goes widening and começam to have an interview the vines of the Douro.
In the national road, following for the left, the destination é Freixo of sword the brace and, more the north, in the Carviçais, the famous restaurant € œ the Artur⠀ . For the way, Lagoaça, in the international Douro, one them fabulosas sights on the river.

But opção é to turn the right and to follow até abandoned estação of Bark Of € ™ White. ‰ one opçã what it almost stands out of masochism: the traveller sensÃvel the s things of patrimà ³ nio hardly deixarà ¡ of if infuriating with degradação so that one walks espaço fabuloso constituÃdo for estação, armazém wooden, depà ³ sito of ¡ gua and wharf. ‰ amazing that if he leaves to fall everything of rotten without using to advantage for inn, museum, cultural center or for any another one utilização condigna.
