A hike to Portugal's amazing Aldeias do Xisto (schist stone villages) is a wonderful way to imagine what village life was once like in Central Portugal. Stone houses cling to hillsides and winding paths hold many surprises, including incredible mountain views. Some of these ancient schist villages can be driven to just outside Lousã, but some can only be reached by hiking on the marked trails. They are excellent places to visit while in #Portugal and well worth the effort!
