Good morning, my nature and travel-loving friends! Today I created a trail using several paths I'd never taken before. I took it upon myself to plot a route on Google Maps so I could start from the famous Qta do Peru neighborhood and reach the famous Alambre camping park. This involves a 22km hike—quite demanding, then. We'll pass through a group of villages, visit nature reserves, learn about the landscape, enter a cave, and much more.🌄⛺
Muy buenos dias amigos amantes de la naturaleza y los viajes!!! hoy invente un sendero aprovechando varios caminos que nunca habia recorrido, me di la tarea de trazar una ruta en Gmaps para poder partir desde la famosa urbanizacion: qta do peru y llegar al famoso parque de camping "alambre", esto consta en una caminata de 22km....pues bastante exigente.... Pasaremos por un conjunto de aldeas, visitaremos reservas naturales, aprenderemos sobre el paisaje, entraremos en una cueva y muchas cosas mas.🚙🚩
Route and its characteristics🧭🌷/Ruta y sus caracteristicas🌍🌄
The route starts at "urb qta do peru", which we don't have access to because it's a private area, literally only the rich live there hehe xD, but the trail starts in front of this street, then we'll take the sand road that goes down through the park "sesimbra park" for approximately 6km, this section of the trail is boring, quite dry and there's not much to see, I even warn you that in summer it's very hot! I recommend lots of water and snacks, because you'll only be able to buy things when you get to the "alambre" camp and that's after 11km. Recommendation? Do it in summer, wear hiking boots and walking sticks, and a hat too.✍🏻🚙⛺
La ruta comienza en la "urb qta do peru", la cual no tenemos acceso porque es un area privada literal solo viven ricos alli dentro jeje xD, pero el sendero comienza frente a esta calle luego vamos a tomar la carretera de arena que baja por el parque "sesimbra park" esto aproximadamente 6km, este tramo del sendero es aburrido, bastante seco y no hay mucho que ver, hasta te advierto que en verano es muyy caliente! te recomiendo mucha agua, snaks, porque solo podras comprar cosas cuando llegas al campamento "alambre" y eso es luego de 11km. Recomendacion? hacerlo en verano, usar botas de excursion y bastones, un sombrero tambien🌍🧭🏔️.
First kilometers and biodiversity🧭🌷/Primeros kilometros y biovidersidad🌍🌄
If you've read some of my previous posts, you'll know that I've been hunting for wild orchids as a hobby. Although there are many orchids that bloom in spring, the trail didn't have many to offer. So, when I came across some, I wanted to identify them and learn about them! These are Orchis italica, a fairly common orchid in Portugal, and they are abundant in the south of the country. So far, the trail has allowed us to photograph wild orchids.🧭🌍🚩
Si ya leistes algunos de mis post anteriores te distes cuenta que ando "cazando" orquideas salvajes como hobbie, apesar que hay muchas orquideas que florecen en primavera el sendero no tenia muchas para ofrecer por tanto cuando me tope con algunas quise identificarlas y aprender sobre ellas! se trata de Orchis italica una orquidea bastante comun en portugal y abundan en el sur del pais, hasta ahora el sendero nos permite fotografiar orquideas silvestres.🌷🐸
This whole area is a bit arid and has forests with small and shrubby vegetation, with pines predominating as the largest trees. You can see a layer of organic matter that is released from the branches of the pines and is characteristic of "Sesimbra". Now the sand is typical of the beach, which is why few plants can grow in these environments. When we get closer to the mountains, the landscape changes. I have to confess that today it was 24 degrees, but it was too hot, I don't want to imagine this in summer with 32 degrees, uff...🚩🌍🧭
Toda esta zona es un poco arida y tiene bosques con vegetacion pequena y arbustiva predominando los pinos como arboles mas grandes, se observa una capa de materia organica que son desprendida de las ramas de los pinos y es caracteristica de "Sesimbra", ahora la arena es la tipica de playa por eso son pocas plantas que pueden crecer en estos entornos, cuando nos acercamos a la sierra es que el paisaje cambia, tengo que confesarles que hoy hizo 24 grados pero tenia demasiado calor no quiero imaginarme esto en verano con 32 grados uff...🏔️🚙🌄
By the way, this last photo is a hacienda. There are many around here, and I found out they're hotels, open-air places where you can spend a night for less than 80 euros with many benefits, including food. The attraction is that the area is private, giving you many kilometers to walk in privacy.🧭🗺️
Por cierto esta ultima foto es una hacienda, hay muchas por aqui y me entere que son hoteles, lugares al aire libre donde puedes pasar una noche por menos de 80 euros con muchos beneficios inclusive comida, y su atractivo es que el area es privada y tienes muchos kilometros para caminar en privacidad.🏠🏕️
Arrival in the mountains🧭🌷/Llegada a la sierra🌍🌄
blocked street😥
Last week was crazy. A hurricane hit here and left nothing but devastation everywhere, tons of downed trees! And it happened to me on this trail. It turns out that when I was just under 4km from the camping park, right as I entered the mountains, there was this pine tree fallen from the roots and blocking my path! I thought...oh oh!!! What do I do now??? Well, luckily for me, I went underneath it among the branches!🌍
La semana pasada fue una locura paso un huracan por aqui y dejo solo estragos en todos lados, muchos arboles caidos! y me paso con este sendero resulta que cuando estaba a poco menos de 4km para llegar al parque de campismo justo entrando en la sierra habia este arbol de pino caido desde la raiz y bloqueando mi paso! pense...oh oh!!! y ahora que hago??? bueno para mi suerte pase por debajo entre las ramas!🚩🗺️
Farms and activities area🧭🌷/Zona de haciendas y actividades🌍🌄
Setubal and Sesimbra are synonymous with winemaking. High-quality wines and grapes are produced here. They can't be compared to those in Porto, but there are some nice houses in this area! Other estates offer outdoor activities; some are rented out in the summer because they have swimming pools.🧭🌄
Setubal, Sesimbra son sinonimos de vineros, aqui se producen vinos y uvas de alta calidad, no la podemos comparar con aquellas de Porto pero hay unas buenas casas por esta zona! otras de estas haciendas hacen actividades al aire libre, algunas se alquilan en verano por que tienen piscinas.🏕️🌍
Cave of prayers🧭🌷/Cueva de rezos🌍🌄
Imagine walking along the main street a little less than 2km from reaching the camp and looking to the left side heading southwest and seeing something that looks like a cave among the hidden vegetation... Suddenly I got curious and went to investigate, there is nothing on gmaps... literally this place does not exist... but what is it?😥😶
Imaginense ir caminando por la calle principal a poco menos de 2km de llegar al campamento y mirar al lado izquierdo sentido sur-oeste y vemos entre la vegetacion escondida algo que parece una cueva... De pronto me invadio la curiosidad y fui a investigar, no hay nada en gmaps... literal este lugar no existe.... pero que es??🫥🤯
There is absolutely nothing on the internet about this cave, but inside it has a small water source. Before, it was built to give water to animals and people who made long journeys. Built from the 15th century onwards, they are quite old. This one here looks more like a Catholic prayer room, which, well... now has other purposes... black magic, things like that!🚩😥
no hay absolutamente nada en internet sobre esta cueva pero dentro tiene una pequena fuente de agua antes se construian para dar de beber a los animales y las personas que hacian largos viajes, construidos a partir del siglo XV son bastante antiguas, esta de aqui tiene mas aspecto a un local de oracion catolica que bueno... ahora tiene otros fines.... magia negra cosas asi!😶
Last kilometer🧭🌷/Ultimo kilometro🌍🌄
return path🌷👨🏻🏫
Beautiful scenery, with the mountains in the background. The weather has changed; it's cooler now! The vegetation has changed too. We now see small rivers and lagoons! Without a doubt, this is my favorite part of the trail! By the way, we've already reached the park. On the way back, we'll pass through the villages of Piedade and Casais.🌍
hermoso paisaje, con las montanas de fondo, el clima cambia ahora es mas fresco! la vegetacion tambien, ahora vemos pequenos rios, lagunas! sin duda mi parte favorita del sendero! por cierto ya llegamos al parque ahora en el camino de retorno es que pasaremos por las aldeas "piedade, casais"🗺️
