Percurso Pedestre PR12 - Trilho das Masseiras
This short and simple trail tends to recall the old ways of working, in the sea-land dichotomy, with fishermen-farmers taming the means to guarantee their subsistence.
Avenida Marginal Cedovém 3
Esposende
Description
They brought Sargaço and the Pilado crab from the sea, which was then spread out to dry in the white sands of Apúlia and then served as fertilizer in the fields, where all kinds of agricultural products were grown.
The mills, which today serve as sentinels at the top of the secular dunes, rotated their sails and millstones to make flours. Today, an undisputed heritage that characterizes the people who live here, they are remembered in the longing for ancient traditions, where customs, dances and gastronomy identify well the men and women in cloak, who conquered the sea and dominated the land.
Ex-libris of this route will be the observation tower over Lagoa de Apúlia, where several species, animals and plants can be seen, cohabiting in this complex system with unique biodiversity.
