April 24, 2025, Capela do Menino Jesus (Miradouro)

At the top of the village of Jueus, in the Serra do Caramulo, the Capela do Menino Jesus is home to one of the most enchanting viewpoints in the region. From here, you can gaze out over the hills and valleys, and it is easy to follow the trails that stretch across the landscape. The paths are well-maintained and are ideal for peaceful walks, but those who enjoy running will find a true paradise here: gentle trails, just the right amount of challenging, and nature that inspires every step.
