Highlights
We invite you to live an experience in the imposing Massif of Sicó that shapes this wild scenery, as well as the way of life of the people. Here, side by side, stone and man steadfastly resist the wear and tear of time. You look around and the entire landscape appears dominated by the sharp edges of the stone.
On the way to Buracas valley, we will hike in fields of lapiás, authentic “stone cemeteries”, dolinas (sinkholes) and hold your breath for the most impressive scenery of all: the Casmilo caves, popularly known as “the mouths of the mountains”. Then we will enter the canyon and hike to the Our Lady of Circulo Santuary, in the top of the mountain, and visit the Outeiro windmill! In this hike we will also pass in three mountain villages.
IMPORTANT: Feel safe, we have the "Clean & Safe" seal from Turismo de Portugal!
Itinerary
Buracas do Casmilo
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Buracas do Casmilo (Casmilo caves) is an incredible and surprising monument sculpted by nature over thousands of years. They are the result of the collapse of the core part of a conduit – a speleological phenomenon called incassion – which exposed the extreme lateral parts, remnants of the cave that was previously hidden inside the mount.Dolina do Casmilo
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeDolina do Casmilo (Casmilo sinkhole) results from the dissolution of limestone. These sinkholes are depressions where water is deposited; they serve, therefore, to support agriculture and pastoralism, representing true “oases in the desert”.Moinho do Outeiro
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Outeiro mill is an old revolving mill. This fragile and crude artefact, whose structure allowed it to rotate in the most favorable direction, proves the ancestral art of using the wind to grind cereals.Senhora do Círculo
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe sanctuary owes its name, Nossa Senhora do Círculo, to the circular stone wall that surrounds the sanctuary. From the top, you can see the mountains of Buçaco and Caramulo and the Serra da Estrela itself, on sunny days, shows its highest villages. The look still leads us to distinguish the entire coast, from Ovar to Peniche, to Figueira da Foz and the fields of Mondego.
