What a piece of trail I had to walk today! Few know but Napelon had some battles within Portuguese territory, many of them at the beginning of the 18th century and which is titled the Peninsular War and well, within Portuguese territory, several Napoleonic battles took place in various parts of the region, including in the center and north. of the country, according to historical records along the road where I made my way Napoleon and his troops were able to advance with the help of the Spanish! What better path to share with you than this?🌏🍍
Vaya pedazo de sendero el que me toco recorrer el dia de hoy! pocos saben pero Napelon tuvo algunas batallas dentro del territorio Portugues muchas de ellas a principios del siglo XVIII y la cual tiene como titulo guerra peninsular y bueno dentro del territorio Portugues se llevaron varias batallas Napoleonicas en varias partes de la region incluyendo en el centro y norte del pais, segun registros historicos por el camino donde hice mi sendero Napoleon y sus tropas pudieron avanzar con ayuda de los Españoles! que mejor sendero para compartir con ustedes que este?🚩🧭👸🤴💂♂️💂♀️
Trail Start🧭🌍/Inicio del Sendero🍍🚩
As you can see, the adventure begins when you come across this sign that invites you to advance along the path and which has a writing that says: "destination Napoleon" and this was a defensive line of Portugal located in the south-center composed of several military forts, here it is believed that Napoleon and his troops were heading to the city of Bucelas to which we are going to go because it is where our path ends! It's not easy to locate it on Google maps so I'll leave you the coordinates: (38.887560, -9.126299) you can come walking from the northern end of Loures to here, it's about 6km I think! or bring your car, there is a small parking lot but I don't recommend leaving it there!🚙🌍
Tal como puedes ver la aventura comienza cuando te topas con este letrero que te invita a avanzar por el sendero y el cual tiene un escrito que dice: "destino Napoleon" y es que esta fue una linea defensiva de Portugal situata en el sur-centro compuesta por varios fuertes militares, aqui se cree que Napoleon y sus tropas se dirigian a la ciudad de Bucelas a la cual vamos a ir porque es donde termina nuestro sendero! no es facil localizarlo en Google maps asi que te dejo las coordenadas: (38.887560, -9.126299) puedes venir caminando desde el extremo norte de Loures hasta aqui son como 6km creo! o traer tu carro hay un pequeño estacionamiento pero no te recomiendo dejarlo alli!🧭🌊🌄🚵♂️🐗
Trail characteristics🧭🌍/Caracteristicas del sendero🍍🚩
The trail lasts 1 hour and a little bit of walking, it is not circular so you will have to turn back at the end of the path or go to the second trail in the center of the city of Bucelas which I recommend because it is quite beautiful, and you can extend the walk for a few 9-12km and walking between 2-3 hours, the best time? In winter when the day is sunny first because you see the river at its maximum flow as well as some waterfalls that you are going to pass! I recommend you come prepared with rain gear, boots, hiking poles, water and food, however, as you will pass through the village you can buy things there! so the trail is not isolated and dangerous! Quite the opposite, super safe!🌄🌊🧭
El sendero tiene una duracion de 1hora y poco de caminata, no es circular por tanto deberas devolverte al final del camino o pasar al segundo sendero en el centro de la ciudad de Bucelas la cual te recomiendo porque es bastante bonita, pudiendo extender la caminata unos 9-12km y caminar entre 2-3horas, la mejor epoca? en invierno cuando el dia es soleado primero porque ves el rio en su maximo caudal al igual por algunas cascadas que vas a pasar! te recomiendo venirte preparado con ropa para lluvia, botas, bastones de excursion, agua y comida sin embargo como pasaras por la villa alli puedes comprar cosas! asi que el sendero no es aislado y peligroso! todo lo contrario super seguro!🚵♂️🌍🍍
What can you do on the trail?🧭🌍/Que puedes hacer en el sendero?🍍🚩
Riverside path🌍🚩
The trail is super well organized and it is impossible to get lost, so I congratulate the municipal chamber for investing in tourism! Along the trail you can make several stops and first of all enjoy the landscape, which is beautiful! Sport fishing is allowed, you can walk with your pet as well as exercise, you can even do the trail by bicycle! And for me the most important thing is birdwatching because the river, as you can see in the photo, is full of birds of all kinds!👀🧭🌏
El sendero esta super bien organizado y es imposible perderte por eso felicito desde ya la camara municipal por invertir en el turismo! a lo largo del sendero puedes hacer varias paradas y primero que nada disfrutar del paisaje que es hermoso! es permito la pesca deportiva, puedes pasear con tu mascota como hacer ejercicio, puedes hacer el sendero hasta en bicicleta! y para mi lo mas importante birdwatching porque el rio como puedes ver en la foto esta lleno de aves de todo tipo!😲🚙
Enjoy the adventure🧭🌍/Disfruta de la aventura🍍🚩
As you advance along the trail the weather is quite pleasant even though the summer is hot and the climate is even more interesting. I do not recommend it because you will not see the Trancão River as you see it in my photo and of course this causes the biodiversity to decrease and you see fewer animals. Your path, everything is very nice and clean. Something that caught my attention is that in spring, as there are many plants, or in autumn, the landscape must be "brutal" because you see fallen leaves along the path and you have a quite beautiful effect. In reality, you can see in one of my photos the leaves!🍍🧭🌊
Mientras avanzas por el sendero el clima es bastante agradable apesar que verano es caluroso y un clima aun mas interesante no te recomiendo porque no veras el rio Trancão asi como lo ves en mi foto y claro esto hace que baje la biodiversidad y veas menos animales a tu camino, todo es bien bonito y limpio algo que capto mi atencion es que en primavera como hay muchas plantas o en otoño el paisaje debe ser "brutal" porque ves hojas caidas por el sendero y tienes un efecto bastante bonito en realidad puedes ver en una de mis fotos las hojas!🌄🌾🦊
Why visit the trail? This trail has everything to enjoy a fantastic experience in Loures. I was reading that it is part of an environmental recovery project applying Engineering. environmental, as I mentioned, the municipal chamber invested a lot of money because in the surrounding area there is a lot of agriculture, grape planting and industries, therefore the pollution that was here was destroying the ecology of the river but the chamber recovered it and made several prohibitions!🌄📚🚵♂️
Por que visitar el sendero? este sendero tiene de todo para disfrutar de una experiencia fantastica en Loures estuve leyendo que forma parte de un proyecto de recuperacion ambiental aplicando Ingeniería ambiental, como te mencionaba la camara municipal invirtio mucho dinero pues en los alrededores de la zona hay mucha agricultura, siembra de uvas e industrias por tanto la contaminacion que habia aqui estaba destruyendo la ecologia del rio pero la camara lo recupero e hizo varias prohibiciones!🧭🍍🙏
Landscape of the Sierra de Loures🧭🌍/Paisaje de la Sierra de Loures🍍🚩
The path, when you have been walking for about 3km I would say or a little more, you begin to see the beautiful landscape of the Loures mountain range. In reality, you have landscapes everywhere, on one side Sintra, on the other Loures, and of course we are getting closer to the city of Bucelas, which is small quiet and relaxed few inhabitants but full of many interesting things to visit!🚵♂️🧭
el sendero cuando llevas caminando unos 3km diria o un poco mas comienzas a ver el paisaje bonito de la sierra de Loures en realidad tienes paisajes por todos lados a un lado Sintra, en otro Loures y claro nos vamos acercando a la ciudad de Bucelas que es pequeña tranquila y relajada pocos habitantes pero llena de muchas cosas interesantes para visitar!🌄🌏
Bucelas the small village surrounded by the river🧭🌍/Bucelas 🍍🚩
almost intact architecture🧭🚩
When you enter the town of Bucelas I think it cannot even be classified as a city because it is quite small, very few inhabitants, you do not see foreigners here so the landscape is quite calm! Of course in winter, in summer you might get people making trails! It seems like a retirement place, you also see agriculture everywhere, you don't see big buildings and of course the river surrounds the city making it quite pretty and picturesque!👀🧭🌏
Cuando entras en la villa de Bucelas creo que ni se puede catalogar como ciudad porque es bastante pequeña, muy pocos habitantes, no ves extranjeros por aqui por lo que el paisaje es bastante tranquilo! claro en invierno en verano puede que consigas gente haciendo senderos! parece un sitio de retiro, tambien ves agricultura por todos lados, no ves edificios grandes y claro el rio rodea la ciudad haciendola bastante bonita y pictoresca!😲🚙
