The Orvalho Walkways are located in the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, in the municipality of Oleiros. Inserted in the Geo Route of Orvalho, they overlook some of the most beautiful landscapes of Beira Baixa and provide access to a set of Geomonuments classified by UNESCO, such as the Waterfall of Fraga de Água d'Alta and Cabeço do Mosqueiro.
The Geo Rota do Orvalho is about 9 km long, but the walkways were only built at key points of the route, in order to make it practicable to pass through more demanding areas and thus allow a wider number of people to access the idyllic natural places through which they pass.

Aldeia de Montanha
From the birthplace of D. Jorge da Costa (Cardinal of Alpedrinha) - the man who (it is said) won the Pope's approval for the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494), which divided the riches of the globe between the Portuguese and the Castilians - one could not expect anything else: the people from Alpedrinha knew how to choose a special place for themselves.
