Itinerary description

Beautiful walk along the route GR40 from Nisa to Vila Velha de Ródão. Nice views over river Tejo. (Note: At som point, for some hundred meters I forgot to resume trail.) From Vila Vela you walk along the road, at first - Then through olive groves and corn field to Vale de Pousadas. From Vale the Pousadas you wlak on dirt roads uphill, with amazing views. On the top you continue through eucalyptus forest to Cebolais de Cima. From Cebolais de Cima to Castelo Branco you walk on the main road - there might be other options from Cebolais de Cima.
