A new adventure begins, fellow travelers! Today I walk through the village of Santa Iria de Azoia which is known for being close to the Tejo River and from the highest points it is one of the cities with the best view of the surroundings of Lisbon, today was a not so walk demanding with quite pleasant weather, in total I would say I walked 18km but most of it was on the road so I didn't feel very tired! Without further ado, enjoy my experience in Loures and its viewpoint!🍍🧭🌍
Comienza una nueva aventura amigos viajeros! hoy me paseo por la aldea de Santa Iria de Azoia la cual es conocida por estar a las proximidades del Rio Tejo y desde los puntos mas altos es una de las ciudades con la mejor vista de los alrededores de Lisboa, hoy fue una caminata no tan exigente con un clima bastante agradable, en total diria que camine 18km pero la mayor parte fue en carretera asi que no me senti muy cansado! sin mas que agregar disfruta de mi experiencia en Loures y su mirador!🚙🦊🚩
Destinations of my walk🧭🌍/Destinos de mi caminata🍍🚩
First of all, to do this tour from the city center it will take you about 3.30 hours walking a total of between 15-18km depending on whether or not you want to make detours to see other things! The best height to do the trail is in summer, as the site is well covered, you will not be exposed much to the sun and not to mud and things like that! In addition, the climate in the area is pleasant because it is on hills, however do not forget your hiking poles and boots as well as water and food! My first stop will be in the park: (Parque Urbano Santa Iria de Azoria) after walking a few kilometers we will go to the São Lourenço viewpoint and there things get intense because we are going to walk many kilometers to a 15th century village which I have for you there a surprise!🚙🌍🚵♂️
Primero que nada para hacer este recorrido desde el centro de la ciudad te tomara unas 3.30horas caminando un total de entre 15-18km dependiendo si deseas o no hacer desvios para ver otras cosas! la mejor altura para hacer el sendero es en verano como el sitio esta bien cubierto no estaras expuesto mucho al sol y tampoco al barro y esas cosas! ademas el clima en la zona es agradable por estar en colinas, sin embargo no olvides tus bastones y botas de excursion asi como agua y comida! mi primera parada sera en el parque: (Parque Urbano Santa Iria de Azoria) luego de caminar unos kilometros iremos hasta el mirador São Lourenço y ahi la cosa se pone intensa porque vamos a caminar muchisimos km hasta una aldea del siglo XV la cual te tengo alli una sopresa!🌻🍄🍂🏃♀️
First stop Santa Iria de Azoria Urban Park🧭🌍/Primera parada Parque Urbano Santa Iria de Azoria🍍🚩
My first stop after walking about 3km is probably the Santa Iria de Azoria Urban Park which we can take a beautiful walk in one of the highest points of Loures, the park was built between the sixties and nineties and it was because in In this area they closed a landfill and to educate the population on how to use natural resources, the park has several structures made with recycled materials as well as murals and other structures that take advantage of resources to provide energy such as water and wind, so it is normal to see a windmill as the most emblematic object of the park! 38.847110, -9.100140🧭🍍
Mi primera parada luego de caminar unos 3km probablemente es el Parque Urbano Santa Iria de Azoria la cual podemos dar un hermoso paseo en uno de los puntos mas altos de Loures, el parque fue construido entre la decada de los sesentas y noventas y fue porque en esta area cerraron un vertedero y para educar a la poblacion de como utilizar los recursos naturales el parque tiene varias estructuras realizadas con materiales reciclaje asi como murales y otras estructuras que aprovechan los recursos para proporcionar energia como el agua y el viento asi que es normal ver un molino de viento como el objeto mas emblematico del parque! 38.847110, -9.100140🌾🌄🌍
The park has its schedule so I recommend checking it before going there! You can do many types of activities, especially those related to taking care of your body! from running to weight lifting and stretching exercises! However, from what I saw, everyone's favorite activity is to come with the family and spend a different day having a picnic or walking their pets since they are welcome! You can walk the park in about an hour! It has views of the river to the south, north and west!👀🧭🌏
el parque tiene su horario asi que te recomiendo revisarlo antes de ir alli! puedes realizar muchos tipos de actividades especialmente las relacionadas con el cuidado de tu cuerpo! desde correr hasta levantamiento de pesas y ejercicios de estiramiento! sin embargo por lo que vi la actividad favorita de todos es venir con la familia y pasar un dia diferente haciendo un picnic o pasear a sus mascotas ya que son bienvenidas! el parque lo caminas como en una hora! tiene vista del rio al sur, norte y oeste!😲🚙
This was my favorite part of the park, besides the beautiful view of the river, it is a windmill that is an emblem of Portugal because hundreds of them were built throughout the territory and they were already used after the Romanesque occupation, so they have some dating back hundreds of years or half a century! The park displays it here to give an explanation of how our ancestors used the wind to produce energy!🌄🚵♂️🌻
Esta fue mi parte favorita del parque ademas de la hermosa vista hacia el rio, se trata de un molino de viento que es emblema de Portugal pues fueron construidos cientos de ellos por todo el territorio y ya se usaban luego de la ocupacion romanica asi que tienen algunos una antiguedad de cientos de años o medio siglo! el parque lo exhibe aqui para dar una explicacion de como nuestros antepasados usaban el viento para producir energia!🧭🏃♀️🤯
The walk in the park is quite relaxing however it left me a little disappointed because it is not my style! It is very basic, of course I couldn't ask for much for a place that is intended for families and exercising. There is an area that is like a gazebo with chairs but it was not open. I think that there you can see everything in a 360 degree angle! If you have little time, I don't recommend spending it visiting the park, you can go to other places before going to the viewpoint!🚩🌄🚵♂️
la caminata en el parque es bastante relajante sin embargo me dejo un poco decepcionado porque no es mi estilo! es muy basico, claro no podia pedir mucho para un lugar que es destinado a la familia y hacer ejercicio hay un area que es como un mirador con sillas pero no estaba abierto creo que ahi se ve todo en un angulo de 360 grados! si tienes poco tiempo no te recomiendo gastarlo en visitar el parque puedes ir a otros sitios antes de ir al mirador!🧭🌻🌍
São Lourenço Viewpoint🧭🌍/Mirador São Lourenço🍍🚩
After leaving the park we had probably accumulated about 5km and to get to the viewpoint from the park we have to walk about 2.5km so we are at a good pace! To get to the viewpoint we are going to pass through the village which has some pretty beautiful houses, many of them decorated with tiles, one of the oldest and most typical techniques in Portugal!🍍🚵♂️
luego de dejar el parque ya abria acumulado unos 5km probablemente y para llegar al mirador desde el parque hay que caminar unos 2.5km asi que estamos en un buen ritmo! para llegar al mirador vamos a pasar por la aldea la cual tiene una que otras casas bastantes bonitas muchas de ellas decoradas con azulejos una de las tecnicas mas antiguas y propias de Portugal!🌏🚩
This is the most complicated part of the trail and it is not a big deal, however I had to be careful because the terrain has many cracks and well you can sprain your foot here so be very careful! I can imagine this during the rainy season... It wouldn't even be possible to get through here!👀🧭🌏
esta es la parte mas complicada del sendero y no es gran cosa sin embargo tuve que tener cuidado porque el terreno tiene muchas grietas y bueno puedes torcerte un pie aqui asi que mucha precaucion! me imagino esto en epoca de lluvia... Ni sera posible pasar por aqui!😲🚙
And finally we arrived at the viewpoint! which has a beautiful view towards the north of the country, we can see several villages including Salvacao which has a waterfall! That whole route takes you towards Spain, I am about 140 meters high and it is the highest hill in the city of Santa Iria de Azoia, from here several paths start to make other trails and you can do some bike rides! For me, getting to the viewpoint was my goal and it is time to leave for the next destination, a village more than 6km from here!🍍🌍
Y por fin llegamos al miradoro! que tiene una hermosa vista hacia el norte del pais, podemos ver varias aldeas incluyendo la de Salvacao que tiene una cascada! toda esa ruta te lleva hacia España, estoy a unos 140 metros de altura y es la colina mas alta de la ciudad de Santa Iria de Azoia, desde aqui parten varios caminos para hacer otros senderos y puedes hacer unas corridas en bicicleta! para mi llegar al mirador era mi objetivo y es hora de partir al proximo destino una aldea a mas de 6km de aqui!🚙🧭🌄
24km🧭🌍/15th century village🍍🚩
After walking 24km in total, it was already dark and I brought you to the Praça Monumental de Santo Antão do Tojal, which is a very small village but for me it has one of the best squares in Portugal because you can see the matrix church built in the 15th century. and then this fountain that dates back to the 18th century along with the plaza! since the medieval era the village had been inhabited🧭🏯🚩
luego de caminar 24km en total ya se hacia de noche y te traje al Praça Monumental de Santo Antão do Tojal que es una aldea muy pequeña pero que para mi tiene una de las mejores plazas de Portugal porque consigues la iglesia matrix construida en el siglo XV y luego esta fuente que data del XVIII jungo con la plaza! desde la era medieval la aldea habia sido habitada 🏰🏰
