Hike - Vineyard Trail🍇 - Quinta do Pisão🐴- Pedra Amarela (16km/500m)

## Details

**This group is for women who live in the Lisbon metro area**

Hike Description:
We'll start at Cascais train station, stop in the lively Cascais market, and head north on the Vineyard Trail/Trilha da Vinhas until we reach the picturesque Quinta do Pisão. We may even find some fig trees on the way! From there, we'll pass Barragem Rio da Mula Dam and start the climb to the viewpoint at Pedra Amarela, with sweeping views over the Cascais/Sintra coast. Finally, we'll descend to Malveira da Serra village where we'll end the hike.

Total elevation gain is around 500m. Most of the trail is flat or a gentle incline until we leave Quinta do Pisão and climb up to the viewpoint. If you want to join but can't commit to a full day, you can double back after the Marmeleiro viewpoint, for 10km total of paved, gentler trail - just send me a message or drop a note in the comments.

Wear shoes with a good grip, bring at least 1.5L water, and snacks/lunch. We'll make a brief stop at Cascais market at the start, after that there isn't anywhere to stop for food/drinks until the end of the hike.

From Malveira, we can catch the bus back to Cascais train station.
