Trails and points of historical interest:

Pre-historic circuit of Nave: it is done through a dirt road of about 15 Km around the parishes of Peravelha, Ariz and Alvite.


The prehistoric monuments that are part of it are the following: Orca da Fonte do Rato, Orca do Bebedouro I, Bebedouro II, Chã das Lameiras, Orca Grande, Orca de Seixas, Orca das Carquejas, Estátua-Menir de Peravelha (see picture) and the Povoado do Castelo (this is the order of the monuments for those who start the trail from Quinta dos Caetanos, parish of Alvite).


This circuit is duly aided by signposts and explanatory panels (next to the monuments), where visitors can observe and understand a megalithic necropolis, a statue-menir and a walled town. Moreover, it turns out to be a unique and pleasant walk, where you can also admire the rich and diverse local landscape/ecological resources.
