Detailed itinerary

The Megalithic Route aims to show the heritage of ancestors who passed through the region. In addition to the historical component, you can enjoy unique granite landscapes and the possibility of stepping onto Spanish soil, since the Sever River divides the two neighbouring countries and is one of the points of interest on the route. If the weather is good, venture out for a dip, then head to the Old Beirã Railway Station, which is one of the landmarks of the tour that culminates with a gastronomic reinforcement of local products.
