Inauguration of the International Portuguese Appalachian Trail

Estreito, Oleiros
The inauguration of the International Portuguese Appalachian Trail (corresponding to the GR 38 - Great Muradal-Pangea Route), takes place on 28 and 29 March. It’s going to be unmissable!

The International Portuguese Appalachian Trail will have a sector in the municipality of Oleiros, the GR38 - Great Muradal - Pangeia Route, with about 37Km. This Great Route alludes to the emblematic quartzite mountain,   where it develops, the Serra da Moradal. 

The inauguration programme spans two days. On Saturday, the official inauguration ceremony will take place, for the meeting of the communities that live around the Serra do Muradal, and for the pedestrian walk, during which there will be food, folk music and period theatrical performances by Viv'Arte.

At the end of the day there will be a typical Portuguese meal.

On Sunday, the Gastronomic Festival of Roasted Kid and Maranho will be held and you will be able to taste the famous gastronomic delicacies of Oleirans and also watch a play.
