Hola amigos les traigo la segunda parte del hasta ahora fue el sendero mas largo que hice en Portugal, con mas de 43km el (GR11 E9) es todo un reto para aquellos amantes de la naturaleza y el senderismo, este post continua desde la playa Fte telha hasta Almada que ya pertenece a Lisboa, si no vistes mi post anterior te resumo hice una caminata por toda la costa atlantica de Portugal partiendo desde Sesimbra hasta el rio Tejo especificamente en la aldea (Porto Brandão), en esta aventura vamos a pasar por muchos miradores, veremos algunos bosques, playas, aldeas e inclusive una iglesia del siglo XVI, acompaname!⛲⛰️
Continuation of the trail🧭🚩 /Continuacion del sendero🌎🗺️
I was saying in my previous post that there was too much material and things to overlook so I decided to split the walk into two posts, I left my house at 5am, starting from Sesimbra and arriving in Almada at approximately 7:00pm, taking advantage of the summer when the sun only sets at 9:00pm, this post starts here: (38.588830, -9.197302) and I'm heading north! I'll continue, the first place we'll pass will be the "raposas" forest and we'll pass by a set of viewpoints! I made several stops but not for a maximum of 10 minutes, I changed my shirt twice because of the sweat and the heat that in the area reaches 38 degrees.🚩📸🗺️
Comentaba en mi post anterior que era demasiado material y cosas para pasar por alto que decidi dividir la caminata en dos post, sali a las 5am de mi casa partiendo desde Sesimbra hasta llegar a Almada aproximadamente a las 19:00 aprovechando el verano que el sol solo se oculta a las 21:00, este post comienza aqui: (38.588830, -9.197302) y voy en sentido norte! continuare el primer lugar donde pasaremos sera el bosque de las "raposas" y pasaremos por un conjunto de miradores! hice varias paradas pero no maximo de 10min cambie mi camisa 2 veces por el sudor y el calor que en la zona llega a los 38 grados.🧭🌳🚵🏻♀️
Forest of the "foxes"🧭🚩 /Bosque de las "raposas"🌎🗺️
When do we know that we are in the forest? Simple when we find these signs that indicate which path we have to follow, they will lead us to the traditional red and white wooden signs, as you can see in the first photos it is an open landscape with many tall pine trees but quickly when we enter the "raposa" reserve the environment changes and the forest has different characteristics, there is humidity and beautiful bushes appear, why its name? because in the afternoons and at night the forest comes to life and we see many mountain foxes here digging in the sand looking for food.🌳⛰️
Cuando sabemos que estamos en el bosque? simple cuando conseguimos estas senales que nos van indicando que camino tenemos que seguir, ellas nos van a conducir a las senales tradicionales la roja y blanca de madera, como puedes ver en las primeras fotos es un paisaje abierto con muchos arboles de pino altos pero rapidamente cuando entramos en la reserva de "raposa" el ambiente cambia y el bosque tiene diferentes caracteristicas, hay humedad y aparecen bonitos arbustos, por que su nombre? porque en las tardes y noche el bosque cobra vida y vemos muchos zorros de montana por aqui escarvando la arena buscando comida.🧭🦊🦊
I loved the trail because of the level of difficulty it represented, to the point that I had to be careful not to miss the signs that some of them had even been painted, I suppose because they were once a private area, but it is quite an adventure that I recommend doing with your friends or partner, you will not be able to do it with children because a child does not have the level of difficulty that the trail demands of you.⛰️🌳
Me encanto el sendero por el nivel de dificultad que represento, al punto que tenia que tener cuidado para no perder las senales que algunas de ellas hasta habian sido pintadas, supongo porque alguna vez fueron una zona privada, pero es toda una aventura que recomiendo hacerlo con tus amigos o pareja, con ninos no podras porque un nino no tiene el nivel de exigencia que te demanda el sendero.🌎🦎
"Raposa" Viewpoint🧭🚩 /Mirador "Raposa"🌎🗺️
View of the beach "fte telha"📸
Our first viewpoint is called "raposa" because it is inside the aforementioned forest. We have a literal 180 degree view and we are at more than 150 meters high. We can see two beaches called Fte Telha and another called (Bela Vista). Here we must continue following the sign (GR11 E9), that is, the red and white one. Do not take the wooden bridge that is here!🧭📸
Nuestro primer mirador que tiene como nombre "raposa" porque esta dentro del mencionado bosque, tenemos una vista literal de 180 grados y estamos a mas de 150 metros de altura, podemos ver dos playas fte telha y otra llamada (bela vista), aqui debemos continuar siguiendo el letrero (GR11 E9) osea el rojo y blanco, no tomes el puente de madera que esta aqui!🚩⛲
Leaving the forest and entering the signs🧭🚩 /Salida del bosque y entrada a las senalizaciones🌎🗺️
After leaving the forest and seeing the viewpoint, we will go through another narrow path but this one is only sand and quite uncomfortable, by the way it slowed me down a lot and consumed a lot of energy, then we will come out at some military installations and we will see good signage for our path that little by little will take us to the coast and there the landscape will be more beautiful.🧭📸
Luego de salir del bosque y ver el mirador, vamos a pasar por otro camino angosto pero este es solo arena y bastante incomodo por cierto me atraso mucho el ritmo y consumio bastante energia, luego saldremos en unas instalaciones militares y veremos una buena senalizacion de nuestro sendero que poco a poco nos ira introduciendo en la costa y ahi el paisaje sera mas bonito.🚵🏻♀️🗺️
Second viewpoint "arriba"🧭🚩 /Segundo mirador "arriba"🌎🗺️
This is our second viewpoint, the view is almost the same but we have the option of being able to see the Sintra mountain range, Lisbon, and clearly the Fte Telha mountain range in the distance, which is a protected area. By the way, if you want more details about its history, you can access one of my past posts! So far there are probably about 12km left to finish.🚵🏻♀️📸
Este es nuestro segundo mirador la vista es casi la misma pero tenemos la variante de poder ver a lo lejos la sierra de sintra, lisboa, y claramente la sierra de fte telha que es una zona protegida que por cierto si quieres mas detalles sobre su historia puedes acceder a unos de mis post pasados! hasta ahora deben faltar unos 12km probablemente para terminar.🌎🌎
Carrascalinho village🧭🚩 /aldea Carrascalinho🌎🗺️
When we reached the village of Carrascalinho we literally stopped walking through the forest, instead we entered a sandy path with many plantations on our right, and on the left we could see the Atlantic Ocean.📸🚵🏻♀️
cuando llegamos a la aldea Carrascalinho literalmente ya no seguimos en el bosque al contrario entramos en un camino de arena con muchas plantaciones a nuestra derecha, ya que el lado izquierdo conseguimos ver el oceano atlantico.🚩
Third viewpoint🧭🚩 /Tercer mirador🌎🗺️
penultimate viewpoint📸
According to the description of the trail we are at the penultimate viewpoint and we are on our way to the "dos capuchos" viewpoint along with its church, here we are less than 6km away from completely finishing our adventure!🧭📸
Segun la descripcion del sendero estamos en el penultimo mirador y vamos camino al mirador "dos capuchos" junto con su iglesia, aqui ya estamos a menos de 6km para terminar por completo nuestra aventura!🚩⛲
Optional viewpoint (Q.ta da Aldeia)🧭🚩 /Mirador opcional (Q.ta da Aldeia)🌎🗺️
Now we pass through a village called: (Q.ta da Aldeia) which is also part of our route and is where the church is located, here I made a detour of a few meters to enjoy this beautiful viewpoint!📸🌎
ahora pasamos por una aldea llamada: (Q.ta da Aldeia) que tambien forma parte de nuestro recorrido y es donde se situa la iglesia, aqui hice un desvio de pocos metros para disfrutar de este hermoso mirador!🗺️🚵🏻♀️
Church of the "Capuchos"🧭🚩 /Iglesia de los "capuchos")🌎🗺️
This is a must-see on the GR11 E9 trail. The church of the "capuchos" is a symbol of the village. It is classified as a national heritage site and was built in the 16th century and restored in the 17th century after the earthquake! Unfortunately for me, it was closed as you can see and I couldn't get in.📸🚩
Esta es una parada obligatoria en el sendero GR11 E9 la iglesia dos "capuchos" la cual es simbolo de la aldea, es clasificada como patrimonio nacional y fue construida en el siglo XVI y restaurada en el XVII post el terremoto! para mi mala suerte estaba cerrada como puedes ver y no pude entrar.🌎🧭
"O Capuchos" viewpoint🧭🚩 /Mirador "o capuchos"🌎🗺️
"Porto brandao" 5km to finish🧭🚩 /"Porto brandao" 5km para terminar🌎🗺️
We are 2km away from finishing this great odyssey, it was a personal challenge because I have never done so many kilometers for a trail! However, I enjoyed every moment and every place I visited, one day I will do it again but perhaps in spring with a nicer climate and with many flowers to see how the landscape changes! I am on a main road on the way to the village "Brandao" which is a small port.🚩📸
Estamos a 2km de terminar esta gran odisea, fue todo un reto personal porque nunca hice tantos kilometros para un sendero! sin embargo disfrute cada momento y cada lugar que visite, algun dia lo repetire pero quizas en primavera con un clima mas agradable y con muchas flores para ver como cambia el paisaje! estoy en una calle principal camino a la aldea "Brandao" que es un pequeno puerto.🚵🏻♀️🌎
Porto Brandão Village🧭🚩 /Aldea Porto Brandão🌎🗺️
Another must-see if you come as a tourist to Portugal and stay in the Lisbon area, visiting the village is quite interesting because throughout the history of our country it has always been inhabited by several civilizations, in fact objects that belonged to the Romans were collected, currently it is quiet, little known and visited, but with top public service and transportation! From here you can take the boat to go to Lisbon.⛰️🌳📸
Otra visita obligatoria si vienes como turista a Portugal y te quedas en la zona de Lisboa, visitar la aldea es bastante interesante porque durante toda la historia de nuestro pais siempre habitaron varias civilizaciones, en realidad se recolectaron objetos que eran de los Romanos, actualemente es tranquila, poco conocida y visitada, pero con servicio publico y transporte top! de aqui puedes tomar el barco para ir a Lisboa.🚵🏻♀️🚩
Objective accomplished🧭🚩 /Objetivo cumplido🌎🗺️
There is proof of where I am, as you can see we reached the tip of Almada, the Tejo river is the only obstacle that separates us from the center of Lisbon, of course this belongs to Lisbon! I accomplished the goal of walking more than 42km! I hope you enjoyed my adventure and that it motivates you to visit my country and enjoy the most beautiful things in Europe!🚵🏻♀️📸🧭
Esta alli la prueba de donde me encuentro como puedes ver llegamos a la punta de Almada el rio Tejo es el unico obstaculo que nos separa del centro de Lisboa, claro esto pertenece a lisboa! cumpli con el objetivo de caminar los mas de 42km! espero hayas disfrutado de mi aventura y que te motive para visitar mi pais y disfrutar de las cosas mas bonitas de europa!🌳🚩🚵🏻♀️
