What do you think if you enter this exciting experience?🧭🚵🏻‍♀️

Preparation🌍/Preparacion 🚩

Well friends, the great odyssey begins in the village of "Casal de Abegoaria", and we are going to pass through Lexim among other villages doing a circular walk of approximately 25km, which is equivalent to more than 7 hours of intense walking. I will tell you in advance if you want to do it. You have to have experience because you are going to climb almost 800 meters, and the summer and spring sun is scorching and suffocating, fresh clothing, plenty of water and covering your head is ideal or you will not complete the trail! In these photos it was where it started in front of a wine cellar.🧭🚵🏻
Bueno amigos la gran odisea comienza en la aldea de "Casal de Abegoaria", y vamos a pasar por Lexim entre otras aldeas haciendo una caminata circular de 25km aproximadamente lo que equivale a mas de 7horas de caminata intensa, desde ya te digo si quieres hacerlo tienes que tener experiencia porque vas a subir a casi 800 metros, y el sol del verano y primavera es abrasador y sofocante, ropa fresca, abundante agua y cubrirte la cabeza es lo ideal o no completaras el sendero! en estas fotos fue donde inicie frente a una vinera. 🌿🌲🍁

Beginning of the walk a little over the villages🌍/Comienzo de la caminata un poco sobre las aldeas🚩

While walking the landscape was changing in a surprising way, I passed by some country houses, Victorian houses and even palaces, some from the 15th century! other rest homes of Portuguese royal figures, the truth is that many of the houses have that Gothic touch, I even got to see a Roman aqueduct and that makes our walk worth it. However, I was already mentally preparing myself because the climbs to the hills would come, which, despite being on the road, are quite a challenge!🚵🏻🧭🌄
Mientras hacia la caminata el paisaje iba cambiando de forma sorpresiva pase por algunas quintas, casas victorianas e inclusive palacios, algunos del siglo XV! otras casas de reposo de personajes de la realeza Portuguesa, lo cierto es que muchas de las casas tienen ese toque gotico, inclusive llegue a ver un acueducto Romano y eso hace que nuestra caminata valga la pena. Sin embargo ya me preparaba mentalmente porque vendria las subidas a las colinas que apesar de ser en la carretera son todo un reto!🚙⛪🏡


nice spring"🍁🍍🌷🌻

The Mediterranean landscape in spring is exceptional, the large number of colorful grasses and shrubs paint the landscape with such style that it is a delight to our eyes, pollinating insects abound and makes our route have much more to see than simple hills. The only thing I don't recommend is doing it on rainy days because there are heights where the terrain is mud!🧭🌏👩‍🏫

El paisaje del mediterraneo en primavera es exepcional la gran cantidad de graminias y arbustos coloridos pintan el paisaje con tal estilo que es un deleite para nuestros ojos, los insectos polinizando abundan y hace que nuestro recorrido tenga mucho mas para ver que simples colinas. Lo unico que no te recomiendo es hacerlo en dias de lluvias porque hay alturas donde el terreno es barro!🍍🚙

Suddenly in the distance I begin to see the first mill, this one here is part of a group that has a total of 4 that we can visit but they are at long distances between them, the path allows them to visit all of them, I think it would be about 4km between them. them, then we make a detour and visit others that are older and abandoned!🧭🚵🏻

De pronto a la distancia comienzo a ver el primer molino, este de aqui forma parte de un conjunto que en total son 4 que podemos visitar pero que estan a largas distancias entre ellos, el sendero los permite visitar todos, creo que serian como 4km entre ellos, luego hacemos un desvio y visitamos otros que son mas antiguos y que estan abandonados! 🏡⛪

Arrival at the first mills🌍/Comienzo de la caminata un poco sobre las aldeas🚩

Well this is our first stop, we arrived at the first two windmills of Mafra, as you can see these were restored and it is believed that they were from the 40s, the importance of the Windmills in the Mafra area had an impact within about the local economy, as you can see in the photos, the area has many wheat crops, it was one of the products that was consumed most frequently at the time. Portugal is not a livestock area itself, so let's say that it was a poor country for many years! By the way, I'll give you some information! The mills normally had a family that lived in them, they took care of it and the man of the house is the one who worked in production!🚵🏻🧭🌻
Bien esta es nuestra primera parada, llegamos a los dos primeros molinos de viento de Mafra, como puedes ver estos fueron restaurados y se cree que fueron de los anos 40, la importancia de los Molinos de Viento en la zona de Mafra tuvo un impacto dentro de la economia local como puedes ver en las fotos la zona tiene muchas siembras de trigo era uno de los productos que se consumian en la epoca con mayor frecuencia Portugal no es una zona propia ganadera asi que digamos que fue un pais pobre por muchos anos! por cierto te doy un dato! los molinos normalmente tenian una familia que vivian en ellos lo cuidaban y el hombre de casa es quien trabajaba en la produccion!🍀🌿🌲

I was reading that the municipal chamber of Mafra is doing activities in the area to enter the mills and learn how they worked in addition to increasing and growing at the ethnogeographic cultural level. The route is ideal for mountain climbers and hikers who want a challenge within Portugal. , the area is quiet and very few tourists come here to explore the trail, I guess because of its difficulty!🧭

Estuve leyendo que la camara municipal de Mafra esta haciendo actividades por la zona para entrar dentro de los molinos y aprender de como funcionaban ademas de aunmentar y crecer al nivel cultural etnogeografico la ruta es ideal para montanistas, y excursionistas que quiere un reto dentro de Portugal, la zona es tranquila y muy pocos turistas vienen aqui a explorar el sendero, supongo por su dificultad!🌻

Cheer up! let's go halfway🌍/Animo! vamos por la mitad🚩


At this point in the walk I have more than 15km and I am in the final stretch, I approach my second reference point, the abandoned mills, but first a walk through the village of "Marreiros"⛪🏡

A esta altura de la caminata llevo mas de 15km y estoy en la recta final, me aproximo a mi segundo punto de referencia los molinos abandonados, pero antes un paseo por la aldea de "Marreiros"🧭🚵🏻

Second historical point abandoned mills🌍/Segundo punto historico molinos abandonados🚩

When we arrive at these mills, which as you can see are much older than the first ones, it is because we are close to completing the path. According to what I read, these are from the end of the 18th century, much older, as you can see, they were built in the same way as a rock castle. That's why deteriorating is not easy.⛪🏡

Ya cuando llegamos a estos molinos que como puedes ver son mucho mas antiguos que los primeros es porque estamos cerca de completar el sendero, segun lei estos son de finales de XVIII mucho mas antiguos, como puedes ver fueron construidos del mismo modo que un castillo rocas por eso deteriorarse no es algo facil.🌻🌲

Mission complete🌍/Mision completada🚩

And here my adventure ends with these beautiful photos of the mills! It was an experience that I enjoyed to the fullest and from which I learned a little more about the culture of the country and about Mafra! I give it five stars, I will definitely repeat it again!⛪🚵🏻

Y aqui termina mi aventura con estas hermosas fotos, de los molinos! fue una experiencia que disfrute al maximo y de la que aprendi un poco mas de la cultura del pais y sobre Mafra! le doy cinco estrellas sin duda lo repetia nuevamente!🧭
