This walk starts near one of the largest avian communities that settled along the Tagus, in the municipality of Vila Franca de Xira. From there, you'll walk along the new walkway along the banks of the River Tagus, allowing you to enjoy the surrounding area. Then you'll follow dirt tracks and, after passing through the centre of Forte da Casa, you'll return to the mountains to connect with Quinta Municipal da Piedade, in the town of Póvoa de Santa Iria.
