Rota da Cortiça
The Cork Route takes you on a journey through the mysteries of the ancient relationship between humans and the cork oak. Through the suggested routes, you'll learn about the stories, techniques of preparing and transforming cork, a popular culture intrinsically linked to this region. Cork is the common thread in six areas of interest: heritage, nature, rural life, tradition, innovation, and knowledge. Each hub explores the cork cycle in its various aspects, from the cork oak forest to the factory, and explores beautiful landscapes. It is uniquely adapted for people with reduced mobility and the blind.
