This is a circular path in the valley of Bestança that takes you through Vila de Muros, Covelas and Vale Verde along the river banks. It starts in the Largo da Nogueira (square), in Vila de Muros, heading towards the roman bridge of Covelas. It crosses the Bestança river to the right bank and climbs up to the village of Covelas along the old cobblestone road. It crosses the river again on a cement bridge and arrives in a place called Prado. The path continues up an old stone road to Vale Verde, which changes to asphalt until Vila de Muros.
