Old Bridge over the Cheleiros Stream

Highlight • Bridge

The Old Bridge of Cheleiros is located in the pleasant village of the same name, in the municipality of Mafra.

The structure is often called Roman, however the current construction dates back to the Medieval Period, and there are even those who claim that it is contemporary with the construction of the Convent of Mafra, having been rebuilt over a previous Roman building. In fact, this is a region rich in archaeological remains dating from the period of Roman occupation of the territory.

Mata Pequena Village

Highlight • Settlement

A dozen houses make up this small rural settlement, made of whitewashed walls and stone slab floors.

Aldeia da Mata Pequena is a paradise that invites you to rest and get in touch with nature outside Lisbon. It is a treasure trove of traditional architecture from the Saloia region, in the middle of the Penedo do Lexim Special Protection Zone, which the restoration work was keen to preserve. For those who stroll or stay in Aldeia da Mata Pequena the feeling is that of being in an open air museum, where the old way of life is preserved through smells, colors and traditions. The houses you find here are the best example of this, the result of a lot of research and collection work that conquers each of the visitors

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Narrow trail that can be done in both directions (in wet weather or with mud, be careful). If you go from Cheleiros, you will find a steep climb at the end, whether you take the direction of Mata Pequena or Mata Grande.
