The route starts in Campo Baixo through a narrow street with houses on the sides. It follows a vacant lot for about 50 meters, then begins to descend along a dirt road until crossing an old bridge made only of stones and continues the route going down, sometimes on dirt, sometimes on fashionable cobblestones. ancient, all between imposing mountains that do not go unnoticed at the extremes. Along this not easy route there are no dwellings.
Crossing these steep descents, you reach the place of “Odjud’água”. A place with contrast to the route that gives access. With a different appearance on a plain, the surrounding greenery is visible and the sound of water falling at different points is audible. “Odjud’água” lives up to its name, there the water springs from the rock in large quantities, thus filling the small ponds at the foot, until it overflows into the stream. Leaving the place, you can go through a very extensive wash with hoses on the sides until they find an underground tunnel of approximately 100 meters, dark and crossing is mandatory because it is the only passage that gives access to the other side of the route that is Ferreiros.
In Ferreiros there are already some houses with people who live essentially from agriculture, which is the main activity of the locality. The route continues along a very sandy stream until it starts to climb up a cumin road with some improvement made of cobblestone that gives access to the town of Lomba where you can take transport towards other towns.
