The North of Portugal offers extraordinary places for hikers. In order to live and feel the geography, the rurality, the gastronomy, the nature and cultural heritage, we have chosen carefully 5 magnificent hiking trails.Namely: The Paiva walkways; the Ermelo Path, in Alv? Natural Park; a hike to Mar? Mountain peak; the Chasing Dolmens trail, in Aboboreira Mountain and a hike into the Douro Vineyards, in the heart of the Douro Valley, in atotal of 66.8 km. In addition to these routes, you will always stay in hotels or rural tourism houses, whose location has been strategically chosen so that you can have contact with the local population, their way of life and the surrounding architectural and landscape. At the end of each hiking day, you`ll be taken to taste dishes and typical Portuguese food, try the region’s wines and always in traditional and local restaurants, far from the circuits most beaten by the usual tourist offer.
