Besides the natural and scenic aspects, there are some historic-cultural values, such as the medieval bridge of d’Às Vinhas and Moimenta parish church. Don't miss Moimenta’s mills set, a little off the track.
\nMoimenta is the starting and finishing point. The village extends in a plateau zone that corresponds to the initial part of the route. It will culminate when our hands hold the guard-rail of the viewpoint to better appreciate the extensive landscape that surrounds us. On a slope full of rocks and cliffs, a trail from here - which takes advantage of several stretches built by hand - will take us to the Ponte do Couço Bridge over the Tuela River. The slope of the other bank - darker and exposed to the moist winds from the northwest and north - is populated with Pyrenean oaks (Quercus pyranaica) and chestnut trees (Castanea sativa). In the autumn, we walk on a carpet of dry leaves.
\nFurther on, the d’Às Vinhas bridge, which allows us to cross the River Tuela again, is characterised by its medieval age, chronologically in synchronisation with the path of small stones and large granite slabs and which, up the slope with curves in one direction and then the other, takes us back to Moimenta.

","arrivalPoint":"Quintanilha","coverImageAuthor":"Telmo Afonso","cumulativeClimb":"432 m","cumulativeDescent":"-433 m","description":"Salgueirão (big willow) trail begins in Quintanilha village and goes along the border line and Maçãs River. It has a total length of 13 km but has a shorter version (6 km), the so-called \"Colado trail\". Near the beginning, in Quintanilha, see the village agricultural fields, where the vegetable gardens and the olive grove stand out. Soon after, we came across the woods with Kermes Oak, Cork Oak and some Chestnut trees. Rabbits and hares are often present here, as well as the Golden Eagle and the Northern and Black-eared Wheatears. The riverside area is leafy and fresh, with tall trees, standing out the alders and ash trees. This is a good habitat for White-throated Dipper, Black Stork and Otter. A more attentive stop on Maçãs River waters will allow you to observe its small fish (chubs, nases, or barbels), some river mussels or even the most elusive Pyrenean Desman.
