Caminho do Pináculo e Folhadal

Lombo do Mouro to Encumeada, given variously as 15 km and 18 km, six to seven hours, with more than 700 m of climbing and a mountain-hiking grade. The path is gravel and about a metre wide, cut through stone walls and narrow tunnels before dropping into laurel forest past cascades. The full loop has been reported closed, with a 12.5 km out and back to the ridge used as the substitute, so check status before travelling.
