Trilho do Alto do Pópulo - Perafita
PR7 ALJ
Alijó
An 11.5 km circular trail of easy to moderate difficulty, estimated at 3h50, starting and finishing at the information panel at Alto do Pópulo, where it connects with the PR6 ALJ — Trilho das Muralhas. The route initially follows the Roman road from Tresminas-Vesúvio from Alto do Pópulo, passing near 6 of the 8 burial mounds forming the Alto das Madorras Megalithic Necropolis — a monument classified as a Site of Public Interest and an important Neolithic funerary complex, whose structures blend harmoniously into the plateau landscape. The trail circles a fertile pocket of land divided into mountain meadows and, near Perafita, fields of maize, potato and family-farmed vegetables, surrounded by granite massifs. It returns along ancient paths to the starting point. Source: turismo.cm-alijo.pt / AllTrails.
