About This Tour
Although human presence in this region traces back to prehistoric times, it was during the Middle Ages that permanent settlements began to shape the territory. Today, 27 historic villages form the renowned Schist Villages Network... and on this tour we’ll explore two of its most picturesque gems: Candal and Talasnal. Both villages preserve traditional stone architecture from many centuries ago and are nestled in the stunning landscape of the Lousã Mountain Range, just a short drive from Coimbra. Their cobbled streets, mountain scenery and timeless atmosphere make this visit a truly memorable step back in time.
