Lousa Charming Schist Villages Tour

Hidden between mountain slops of leafy vegetation, the schist (slate rock) villages are one of the best kept secrets of this region! Come get to unveil it alongside us on a quick half-day tour to Candal, the Castle of Lous (one of the best-kept structures of the Medieval Mondego River Defensive Line), the Lady of Mercy Sanctuary and the Louainha River Beach. Or take a full-day tour, tasting typical food and sweets and enjoying the breathtaking mountain landscapes of Lous while getting to explore more Schist Villages such as Casal Novo and Talasnal! If the weather permits we will take one of the Schist Paths (hiking trails) to enjoy the natural heritage in all its perfection! And if you are brave enough to do so, we will give you some time to end this excellent day by diving in the refreshing water of Louainha River Beach!
