Despite the vestiges of human presence dating all the way back to the prehistoric era, it is only during the Medieval Ages that populations started to settle on this territory. From a count of 27 historic villages that make part of the “Schist Villages Network”, our visit will focus mainly on two of them - Candal and Talasnal - which contain constructions dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. These are located at the Lousã Mountain, a few kilometers away from the city of Coimbra!

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of taking a day tour through the charming Schist villages outside Coimbra with Sara and were delighted as we learned so much about this ancient region. As a native of Coimbra and all things Portugal, her love for this wonderful scenic region is unparalleled. Sara is patient, engaging, and a real story teller. The day simply flew by and we saw so much of the region, and the villages of Talasnal and Candal, topped off with an unforgettable lunch at O Burgo in Lousã. We would recommend taking this tour for anyone seeking to gain an appreciation of this off the beaten path area filled with charming villages and scenic vistas. Obrigado Sara for such a wonder tour!

Si vous aimez la randonnée, vous devez absolument passer par Lousa pour y découvrir les villages de schiste. Non seulement les villages sont magnifiques, mais le chemin de randonnée est bien indiqué et tout simplement charmant. La première montée vers Casal de Novo était rude, mais ensuite ça devient plus facile. Il y a plusieurs ruisseaux et cascades. Attention de vous apporter suffisamment d’eau pour le trajet. Pour l’accès aux pistes de randonnée, il est plus aisé de suivre la route pour se rendre jusqu’au château de Lousa. Juste à côté, il y a une carte très détaillée avec tous les circuits et les informations les concernant.
