São João da Madeira → Grijó

A transitional stage between the interior and the coast, approaching the Porto metropolitan area. The path passes through Fiães and its notable 12th-century Romanesque monastery. Mixed landscape of rural and peri-urban areas. Grijó houses the Monastery of Grijó, a jewel of Portuguese Romanesque-Gothic architecture founded in the 10th century, where it is worth stopping to contemplate the cloisters and church.
