Meia Encosta Trail

Highlight • Trail

Very pleasant path that runs around Montejunto. It offers beautiful landscapes of the region. Some sections have loose stone floors, so it is worth paying attention.

Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows (Ruins)

Highlight • Religious Site

At the top of the Montejunto mountain range, very close to the chapel of Nossa Senhora das Neves, there are remains of the first convent of the Order of São Domingos in Portugal. Initially built in 1218, shortly after Friar Soeiro Gomes arrived in Portugal, the current ruins are the result of the rebuilding (over the initial convent) that took place in the 18th century, upon the return of the Dominicans. Despite being in ruins, it is a grandiose monument that must be visited, with due care, given the dangers that ruins always contain.

Next to the monument, there is a trail called "Calçada dos Frades" that runs along the slope. This cobbled path, which is also thought to be from the 18th century, was opened to serve the construction and use of the Convent of Nossa Senhora das Neves. The path was also used by the friars to access the Real Fabrica do Gelo, located further down, where today there is a laser area and an interpretive center.

Picnic Area of Serra de Montejunto

Located in the chestnut woods, it connects the Real Fábrica do Gelo complex and the Environmental Interpretation Centre. The Park has eight tables, with an average capacity of six to eight people per table. As support structures for its use, it has a small bar, toilets and a small playground.

Moinho de Avis

Highlight • Monument

Magnificently located in the Serra do Montejunto, famous for having the largest concentration of windmills in the Iberian Peninsula, Moinho de Avis is an absolutely unmissable windmill that dates back to 1810.

This typical windmill, with its clay pots set with sails, is located next to the Curral do Burro restaurant, providing the flour that is then used to make fresh bread, from the rare Barbela wheat.

Miguel Nobre, a carpenter by profession, is also a huge millology enthusiast and was responsible for the restoration of the Avis Mill in 2008. Restoring mills quickly became a full-time job.

Moinho de Avis is the largest windmill in Portugal.
