โ Is like fun only diferent. โžย 

I have to confess, I don't like "outdoors" because it has become something "fashion" on the last few decades, not only because of climate change but especially because in the 80s and 90s, people like me were the ones who went camping and interning. -rails as if you snapped your fingers, not only because it was an economical way of being able to stay and go because there were only hotels, guesthouses. I allways was but now I am more and more protector and supporter of mother Natur8 and i am always looking for new trails, also because, trekking has become one of my favorites activities. I love to put on my boots, grab portable solar panel my backpack, log off social media / connectivity and using tools for tekking who i have for offline mode (dont ask its a thing) and set out to discover and explorer. Doesn't matter to me if these trails or pedestrian routes are on the other side of the planet or thirty minutes from house. What really matters is being able to take a deep breath, be in communion with mother nature and feel that unique tranquility and peace she give's what feeds uniquely our soul. And believe me, i have found true pearls very close to us.

From the small pedestrian trails, perfect to be done in one day, to the large routes that allow for several days of walking I guarantee that all these trails have several points in common: they allow us to disconnect from a world that is always connected, to be in communion with nature to discover places lost in time and to enjoy some of the most beautiful intemporal paintings painted by the mother Nature.

Pedestrian Route Signage: normally, this signage is placed in strategic locations on the path to help walkers know which route they should follow, without there being any doubts at intersections or junctions with other paths.

Types

In Portugal, at the national level, there are two types of walking routes, the so-called Little Route and the Grande Route.


PR and PL

PR, the Pequena Rota, do not exceed 30 km in length or less than a journey to travel, and are signaled in yellow and red. PL, the Local Routes, were created in Portugal in 2006, and where the entirety, or more than half of the route takes place on an urban route, signaled in green and white.

GR

GR, the Grandes Routes are more than 30 km long or more than one journey to go, signposted in white and red. Once approved by the Federation of Camping and Mountaineering of Portugal, they are marked in both directions, according to the agreed marks.
