Message from O Miradouro

🇧🇷 Quando passamos pela aldeia de Casal de São Simão, começamos pela Miradouro e Passadiços de São Simão (1 km). Fizemos uma caminhada pelos passadiços, exploramos as margens da ribeira e depois rumamos até a aldeia do Casal de São Simão (700 metros). No entanto, sugerimos fazer isso só se tiver tempo e disposição, porque tem algumas escadas pelo caminho – dá para imaginar a volta, né? 😄

Há uma ribeira muito bonita por ali; se estiver fazendo sol, é uma ótima ideia levar seu traje de banho e dar um pulinho na água!

Casal de São Simão é uma aldeia encantadora de xisto, aninhada nas colinas de Figueiró dos Vinhos, bem no coração de Portugal. Antigamente, as casas tinham reboco, escondendo as pedras de xisto. Mas à medida que as casas foram sendo restauradas depois de um bom tempo de abandono, achou-se mais bonito deixar as pedras à vista novamente (nós, particularmente, achamos que as pedras de xisto dão um charme todo especial).

🇺🇸 When we visited the village of Casal de São Simão, we started with the São Simão Viewpoint and Walkways (1 km). We took a stroll along the walkways, wandered along the stream, and then headed towards the village of Casal de São Simão (700 meters). However, we recommend doing this only if you have the time and energy, because there are quite a few stairs along the way – imagine the return trip, haha! 😄

There's a really picturesque stream there; if the sun is shining, it's a great idea to bring your swimsuit and take a dip!

Casal de São Simão is a charming schist village nestled in the hills of Figueiró dos Vinhos, right in the heart of Portugal. In the past, the houses were plastered, hiding the schist stones. But as the houses were restored after a long period of abandonment, it was considered more beautiful to expose the stones again (we personally find schist stones to be quite charming).
