The Historical Way follows the old trail that pilgrims travellers and locals used on their journeys through the region. The route is 350km long. But over four days you will walk 80kms of this wonderful way as it wanders along rural trails, old villages and towns, cork tree forests, mountain ranges, valleys, rivers and creeks in a journey through time and the culture of the past and the present. And each day you will be returned to the comfort and peace of your accommodation at Herdade da Matinha.
