This is a cafe called "Estou no trabalho". It means "I'm at work". So, the husband is at the cafe and his wife calls him to find out where he is. Then, the husband says he's at work. And, which is true! 😂🤪🤣😇

On some parts the track follows the slopes of the hill. Be careful and do not fall. It is probably easier in the descending direction. It in the ascending direction you will see the Almourol castle getting closer as you climb the hill.
