[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading]Historical Way: new things to discover!<\/b>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]With the project to build a solar mega-park in Cercal do Alentejo<\/a> and the consequent installation of very high voltage power lines (LMAT), Rota Vicentina was forced to re-evaluate the route of the first two stages of the Historical Way. These stages, which link Santiago do Cac\u00e9m to Vale Seco and Vale Seco to Cercal do Alentejo, overlapped the area affected by the new infrastructures, requiring a change to guarantee the quality of the walkers\u2019 experience. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”25965″][\/vc_single_image][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″]Why this change?[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]Landscape and nature are two predominant factors in choosing the Rota Vicentina trails. The visual and environmental impact of the LMAT on the aforementioned stages was undeniable. A trail that follows an industrial infrastructure thus deviates from the principles of our offer. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”25970″][\/vc_single_image][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″]How was the change made?[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]This change involved some behind-the-scenes work. We divided it into three phases: <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_accordion][vc_accordion_tab title=”1. Survey and route definition” tab_id=”1724684095-1-95″][vc_column_text]This was the puzzle phase, putting together the existing pieces! A detailed study<\/a> was conducted of the existing infrastructure, including the new HVPL, other hiking trails, cycling routes, roads, and existing high-voltage lines on the ground. This survey allowed for a clear understanding of the reconfiguration possibilities for the Historical Way, resulting in a preliminary proposal based on maps and site visits. It was presented to the Santiago do Cac\u00e9m Municipality, other relevant entities and the local community. <\/span>
\n<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”2. Implementation of the route on the field” tab_id=”1724684095-2-94″][vc_column_text]This was the manual work phase, but a bit heavier! With the route already defined, the second phase involved the physical implementation of the new path on the ground, with signposting. This phase involved painting markings, placing infrastructure such as posts with markings, arrows, warning signs and panels with the new information. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”3. Updating physical and digital materials” tab_id=”1724688998291-2-8″][vc_column_text]At the same time, all the materials about the Rota Vicentina Walking Trails were being updated. This included physical maps, guidebooks, updated information on the Rota Vicentina website and GPS tracks. Walkers can plan their trip with all the up-to-date information. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][vc_single_image media=”25984″][\/vc_single_image][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″]The result: an improved experience![\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]With the new route, Rota Vicentina reaffirms its commitment to the scenic quality of the trail. The detour not only minimizes the visual interference of the HVPL, but also allows new trails to be explored! <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”25988″][\/vc_single_image][vc_column_text]The new walking season is about to begin!<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>If you’ve been longing to put on your boots and let yourself be guided by the trail markers: the new hiking season is just around the corner. There’s nothing like starting the new season exploring this new path. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]stage Santiago do Cac\u00e9m \u00bb Vale Seco<\/a><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]stage Vale Seco \u00bb Cercal do Alentejo<\/a><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]So, what are you waiting for?<\/strong> Download the <\/span>updated trails<\/span><\/i>, consult the Guide Book (new e-book version here)<\/strong><\/a> and come and walk these two new stages of the Historical Way!<\/span> In fact, there are many more options: from the coast to the interior, in the Alentejo and the Algarve, with short and long distances \u2018\u00e0 la carte\u2019.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]And if you have any suggestions, complaints or just want to say hello, we\u2019re here<\/strong><\/a> to listen.
