The Romans were one of the most powerful and daring civilizations in the entire history of mankind, anything that refers to tactical combat and ambition probably some Roman already stood out for meeting those characteristics! But the Romans became extinct hundreds of years ago... However, their legacy continues to this day... Today I will do one of the hardest trails in the north of the country and even in all of Portugal, it is called: Roman Throne Pias", and it is that after completing this difficult walk you graduate as a Roman soldier.👩🏻🦯🌍
Los Romanos fueron una de las civilizaciones mas poderosas y osadas en toda la historia de la humanidad, todo lo que se haga referencia a combates tacticos y ambicion probablemente algun Romano ya se destaco por reunir esas caracteristicas! pero los Romanos se extinguieron hace cientos de anos... Sin embargo su legado sigue hasta nuestro dias... Hoy realizare uno de los senderos mas duros del Norte del pais e inclusive de todo Portugal, lleva como nombre: Trono Romano Pias", y es que luego de completar esta caminata tan dificil te graduastes como un soldado Romano.⛰️🧭
How to prepare for the trail👩🏻🦯🚩/Como preparase para el sendero🌎🧭
Vialongo has the most extreme trails in Portugal, it is a big city north of Porto and it is located between the middle of a valley and two mountain ranges called: "Midões e de Piás" if you read above it says the totality of the "precourse 30km", here you have a summary of how the walk is and the level of difficulty, to complete 30km in one day between the mountains you have to set a pace, you can't just go slow or night will catch you in the woods and it is very dangerous. The physical preparation depends on each one, I have a lot of experience and I have already walked 60 km in one day so I have enormous resistance! It is not a family walk and even less for people with physical disabilities. However you can see each throne individually by shortening the distance with a vehicle and walking a couple of kms.🧭👩🏻🦯⛰️
Vialongo tiene los senderos mas extremos de Portugal, es una ciudad grande al norte de Porto y se encuentra entre el medio de un valle y dos sierras llamadas: "Midões e de Piás" si lees arriba dice totalidad del "precurso 30km", aqui tienes un resumen de como es la caminata y el nivel de dificultad, para completar 30km en un dia entre las montanas tienes que marcar un ritmo, no puedes solo ir lento o simplemente la noche te agarra entre el bosque y es muy peligroso. La preparacion fisica depende de cada uno, yo tengo mucha experiencia y ya camine 60 km en un solo dia por eso tengo una resistencia enorme! no es una caminata en familia y menos para personas con discapacidad fisica. Sin embargo puedes ver cada trono de forma individual acortando distancia con un vehiculo y caminar un par de kms.🚩🦾🦿
Ground conditions👩🏻🦯🚩/Condiciones del terreno🌎🧭
There is one of the highest points of the mountain and as you can see it is a pretty steep walk. The complicated thing about the walk is that it is a granite mountain and this type of geology is complicated because it releases many stones, and of course since it is sand and stones you can easily slip or twist an ankle by accident! However, it is not the most difficult or dangerous thing I did, in fact it is something that a person with little experience can complete. If you pay attention to the terrain and walk quickly you can become a Roman.⛰️🧭
Alli es uno de los puntos mas altos de la montana y como puedes ver es una caminata bastante empinada, lo complicado de la caminata es que es una montana de granito y este tipo de geologia es complicada porque desprende muchas piedras, y claro como es arena y piedras puedes resbalarte facilmente o torcerte un tobillo en un descuido! sin embargo no es lo mas dificil y peligroso que hice en realidad es algo que una persona con poca experiencia puede completar, si prestas atencion al terreno y caminas rapido puedes convertirte en un Romano.🌍🌲
Always in front👩🏻🦯🚩/Siempre en frente🌎🧭
Follow the signs🧭🚩
In each section of the walk you must follow the signs, these signs also indicate the difficulty of each part of the mountain, classified between 1 and 5 haha and it's crazy because everything is literally five xD, I didn't see anything easy here! We shouldn't waste too much time and always maintain our pace, I walked at 5.5km per hour, it's almost a jog, you shouldn't carry too much weight, plenty of water and snacks are necessary!🧭📸
En cada tramo de la caminata debes seguir las senales, estos avisos tambien nos van indicando la dificultad que nos trae cada parte de la montana clasificandose entre 1 al 5 jaja y es una locura porque todo es cinco literalmente xD, no vi nada facil aqui! no debemos perder mucho tiempo y siempre mantener nuestro ritmo, yo camine a 5.5km por hora es una caminata casi trotando, no debes llevar mucho peso, abundante agua y snacks son necesarios!📸
I think that as a negative aspect I didn't like about the trail, seeing so many eucalyptus trees. There comes a time when the landscape becomes repetitive and boring. Luckily, the views of the different valleys of Vialongo save that monotonous landscape! But of course, not everything is negative. I managed to see three fairly large caves, but I didn't have time to explore them.⛰️🧭
Creo que como aspecto negativo no me gusto del sendero ver tantos arboles de eucalipto, llega un momento donde el paisaje se torna repetitivo y aburrido, menos mal que las vistas a los diferentes valles de Vialongo salvan ese paisaje tan monotono! pero claro no todo es negativo llegue a ver unas tres cuevas bastantes grandes pero no tenia tiempo para explorarlas.⛰️🌲
Another thing I didn't like was that every hour someone on a motorcycle would pass by and that is very dangerous since it is a trail for walking or cycling and not for mountain bikes, so every time I heard one approaching I had to step aside and let them pass.🧭⛰️
Otra cosa que no me gusto fue que cada hora pasaba alguien con una moto y eso es demasiado peligroso ya que es un sendero para caminar o andar en bicicleta y no con motos de montana, entonces cada vez que escuchaba una acercarse tenia que hacerme aun lado y dejalos pasar.🌍🚩
This is the most difficult part of the trail when we have to climb the hills, the path is always quite steep and there are 150, 200, 300 meters uphill, there comes a moment where we push our body to the limit.🦿🦾
Esta es la parte mas dificil de el sendero cuando tenemos que subir las colinas, el camino es siempre asi bastante empinado y son 150, 200, 300 metros en subida llega un momento donde llevamos el cuerpo al limite.🌎🚩
What a piece of landscape...👩🏻🦯🚩/Que pedazo de paisaje...🌎🧭
incredible, isn't it?🧭🚩
It is not just a very demanding walk that becomes "personal" just to sit on the Roman throne! It is also about knowing how to enjoy every step you take. When I saw a beautiful landscape I photographed it, otherwise how can I be a witness that Portugal is the most beautiful country in Europe?🧭📸
No es solo una caminata muy exigente la cual se hace "personal" solo para sentarte en el trono romano! es tambien saber disfrutar cada paso que das, yo cuando veia un hermoso paisaje lo fotografiaba, si no como soy testigo que Portugal es el pais mas hermoso de Europa?📸
Roman blood always demands a victory👩🏻🦯🚩/Sangre Romana reclama siempre una victoria🌎🧭
I am not one to give up easily and I am actually proud to say that I never give up on a hike! My determination is always like a Roman warrior's thought: win or die! Period... If you are like me then I challenge you to do this trail and deserve to be part of the Roman Centurion of "Vialonga".🌎🦾
No soy de los que se rinden facilmente y en realidad me siento orgulloso de decir que nunca abandone una caminata! mi determinacion es siempre como el pensamiento de un guerrero romano ganar o morir! punto... Si eres como yo entonces te reto hacer este sendero y merecer formar parte del Centurion Romano de "Vialonga".🌍⛰️
