TeotónioPara quem vier de Sul, Odeceixe é porta de entrada no Alentejo. Em dia de Carnaval arrancámos de S. Miguel, a primeira povoação a norte de Odeceixe e caminhámos para sul, avaliando a altura das águas depois de uma noite de enxurrada. O trilho que servirá de ligação entre o Algarve e o Alentejo leva-nos sobre uma pequena ponte junto a um antigo moinho de água, através de uma zona agradável de vegetação densa. <br />
<br />
De regresso à estrada, e depois de menos de 1km de asfalto, o caminho volta à esquerda, seguindo paralelo a uma ribeira, até às alturas de Vale Juncal, a poucos km's de S. Teotónio. Daqui, o traçado segue para Norte de forma contínua, havendo no entanto uma alternativa que será alvo de novo reconhecimento. A chegada a S. Teotónio é então surpreendente. O caminho atravessa uma floresta de pinheiro e sobreiro, entrando de seguida num trilho estreito e murado junto a uma várzea, o antigo 'Caminho Real' que em certas partes deixa ainda à vista a antiga calçada de pedra. <br />

<b><i style="color: #666666;">From Odeceixe to S. Teotónio</i></b><br />
<i style="color: #666666;"><br />
Odeceixe stands in the border between Algarve and Alentejo regions. This day we started in S. Miguel, the first village pass Odeceixe and walked south, to check the path to cross the river. Back to the road, and after less than 1km, the trail turns left and follows a small creek till you reach the heights of Vale Juncal. From here, the way heads north continuously but there is still an alternative, that requires a new field trip.</i><br />
<i style="color: #666666;"><br />
The arrival at S. Teotónio is a great surprise. After crossing a forest of pine and oak trees, the trail keeps narrow and enters a section of extreme simplicity and beauty, with stone walls and bits of rock paved path. This is a part of what is left from the so called 'Royal Way' that silently enters the village of S. Teotónio.</i>Casas Brancashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00448303280157242035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8761284705776077126.post-66940071148738251532011-03-09T04:25:00.001-08:002011-04-06T09:30:29.036-07:00Juntas de Freguesia: poderosos aliadosAs reuniões com as Juntas de Freguesia também já arrancaram. São os organismos mais próximos da realidade de cada local, e a sua ajuda será preciosa na tomada de algumas opções, na defesa dos interesses de proprietários, vizinhos e comunidade em geral, e também da qualidade da Rota Vicentina. São pelo menos 11, as freguesias abrangidas pela Rota Vicentina, e sentimos, uma vez mais, uma total comunhão de objectivos e esforços.<br />

<b><i>Town councils: powerful allies</i></b></div><i style="color: #666666;"><br />
Meetings with local town councils have already started. In total there are at least 11, integrating Rota Vicentina, and we feel a total unity of purpose and effort. This are the public structures closer to local issues, the best prepared to help on key decisions, and the right partners when it comes to protect the interest of landlords, neighbors and overall community.</i>Casas Brancashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06626530905370197045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8761284705776077126.post-50645966717671616952011-03-09T03:43:00.000-08:002011-03-09T06:12:48.701-08:00Work in ProgressO contrato de financiamento com o <a href="http://www.ccdr-a.gov.pt/poaqren/default.asp?action=presentation">InAlentejo</a> foi finalmente assinado, com data de 28 de Fevereiro de 2011. Mais um dia importante nesta caminhada e que marca igualmente a data de conclusão do projecto, 18 meses volvidos, com todos os objectivos cumpridos e bem preparados para o futuro.<br />
De facto, este período será na realidade de lançamento de um projecto de muito longo prazo, cuja conclusão não se avista em nenhum horizonte temporal. Consiste antes num processo evolutivo, que deverá incentivar o desenvolvimento de novas iniciativas e desafios.<br />

Luís<div class="MsoNormal">Nas últimas semanas o troço entre Odemira e S. Luís foi percorrido por duas vezes e se da primeira chovia torrencialmente, da última, a Primavera parecia já ter chegado em força. Faça chuva ou faça sol, é sempre com um enorme prazer que saímos para o terreno na busca das melhores soluções. Até perto da aldeia de Troviscais o trilho segue junto ao rio Mira, num troço de grande beleza natural. Daí será possível aproveitar uma pequena rota marcada pela Câmara Municipal de Odemira e visitar Troviscais, antes de seguir até ao próximo ponto de paragem, S. Luís.<br />

Foi debaixo de chuva que arrancámos, numa passada firme rumo ao Almograve, com a alegria de percorrer mais um troço deste litoral de sonho - a Costa Alentejana.<br />
<br />
Entre o Farol do Cabo Sardão e o portinho de pesca natural da Lapa das Pombas o trilho é acessível e a paisagem assume por vezes contornos de deserto, com dunas avermelhadas e formações rochosas em granito. No caminho dos pescadores o objectivo primordial passará por realizar o mínimo de intervenções na paisagem, aproveitando os caminhos existentes e por disciplinar a passagem dos caminhantes, escolhendo apenas uma alternativa e 'fechando' os trilhos que correm paralelos ou nas imediações. Esta variante da Rota Vicentina será essencialmente para ser percorrida a pé, por caminhantes experientes, dada a maior dureza do terreno e alguns troços de maior dificuldade.<br />

<i style="color: #666666;"><b> </b><br />
It was raining heavily and the wind was blowing wild, but as Swiss say, there is no bad weather, only bad equipment. Between the lighthouse of Cape Sardão (Cabo Sardão) and the natural fishing harbor of 'Lapa das Pombas' the trail is easy to follow and the landscape resembles the desert, with red sand dunes and rocky formations. </i><br />
<br />
<i style="color: #666666;">On the Fisherman's Trail, that will run along the coast, the goal is to make the least interventions on the terrain as possible, using existing trails and blocking alternative and parallel ways. This section of 'Rota Vicentina' will be mainly to be crossed on foot and by experienced hikers.</i><br />

Luís e o CercalEsta secção inicia-se no Largo da Igreja de S. Luís e parte do percurso encontra-se assinalado, integrando uma pequena rota (PR 2 ODM), desenvolvida pelo município de Odemira. A subida até à Serra do Penedo presenteia-nos com uma vista soberba sobre a planície, o Rio Mira e Vila Nova de Milfontes. <br />
<br />
Continuando para Norte, o percurso segue até Vale das Porquinhas, onde a natureza volta a surpreender com uma queda de água de 17m de altura, a Rocha de Água d'Alte. Com os dias ainda curtos a sessão de trabalho teve que terminar junto a Foros da Pereira, onde regressámos ao asfalto da N390 que corre entre Milfontes e o Cercal.<br />

Estamos alinhados em objectivos, filosofia de intervenção e vontade de fazer mais pelo usufruto da natureza em plena consciência ambiental. Arrancam as saídas de campo, em cerca de 150 kms a norte de Odeceixe de trilhos e caminhos em plena área protegida, estudam-se variantes e chega-se a consensos. Durante as próximas semanas, até o tempo contribui para o prazer de fazer um bom trabalho.<br />

Houve espaço para trocar impressões, lançar sugestões, "puxar a brasa a cada sardinha" e sentir o entusiasmo de todos. Começou-se a discussão acerca do futuro do projecto e da sua sustentabilidade, um assunto nada prematuro, se considerarmos que se trata precisamente de um investimento no futuro. Pela nossa parte, o investimento é total e a parceria mostrou-se igualmente motivada.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyU83W0fcpAiTvf5lDHB4ODmDJccUvmtbuSw9zwRWJsul8hpcjNStbgN3qT3ZMXWutpZ0O6LGgnQuhVlDFeiHn29aF3a8mhVNSYApyqNYQajpe495hxWDFuZZ9hSux9Gfou0NQf4X5fIm2/s1600/RV+reuniao+2.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyU83W0fcpAiTvf5lDHB4ODmDJccUvmtbuSw9zwRWJsul8hpcjNStbgN3qT3ZMXWutpZ0O6LGgnQuhVlDFeiHn29aF3a8mhVNSYApyqNYQajpe495hxWDFuZZ9hSux9Gfou0NQf4X5fIm2/s320/RV+reuniao+2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550176742766938946" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6k759kzu2D3sNrPxDnlwKnJXKaavtrbLrRfGStyQ7JMK3ZW4m9sGe4sWyv-pAP2WleHF3ExqLnhhJKjVGrQCRbiT-gdA0uKD7LkEk6zwVzkAzFhir6DF_e9sK92a3y7MTW2hkQrCFAv42/s1600/RV+reuniao+1.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6k759kzu2D3sNrPxDnlwKnJXKaavtrbLrRfGStyQ7JMK3ZW4m9sGe4sWyv-pAP2WleHF3ExqLnhhJKjVGrQCRbiT-gdA0uKD7LkEk6zwVzkAzFhir6DF_e9sK92a3y7MTW2hkQrCFAv42/s320/RV+reuniao+1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550176740180710018" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Planning the future</span><br />The RV partners meeting was a success.

Alguns destes parceiros têm o papel fundamental de co-financiar a realização da Rota Vicentina, mas igualmente importante é o seu contributo técnico, institucional e operacional. Aspectos como a partilha de recursos existentes (fotografia, vídeo ou textos), a existência de técnicos que conhecem cada estrada rural, os seus proprietários e utilizadores, os especialistas que nos ajudarão na identificação de aspectos patrimoniais a destacar, seja fauna, flora, vestígios históricos ou geológicos. Pretendemos ver todas as entidades locais e regionais unidas na partilha de recursos e saberes, em favor da qualidade desta Rota mas sobretudo nos objectivos que ela pretende alcançar.<br />
<br />
Obrigada desde já a todos os elementos desta parceria pela sua confiança e entusiasmo.<br />
<br />

São cartas, apresentações, ofícios, protocolos, e afins, numa rede burocrática a que a máquina do estado se obriga necessariamente, mas onde estamos a entrar de cabeça pela primeira vez. Gostamos de acreditar que é por estarmos a prestar serviço público, e essa convicção faz qualquer requerimento parecer um aperto de mão bem caloroso.<br />

Este Sábado montamos as bicicletas, e saímos do Cercal para fazer um percurso circular entre esta vila alentejana e Vale das Éguas, algures a meio caminho entre o Cercal e Santiago do Cacém.</div><br />
O cenário é tipicamente alentejano, com sobreiros, montes e pequenas propriedades agrícolas, cortadas por uma rede de estradas rurais que são um verdadeiro prazer para quem aprecia o BTT. Nesta zona do percurso, a barragem de Campilhas marca em grande parte a paisagem e promete piqueniques e banhos nas épocas de maior calor. O almoço, num dos dois cafés de Vale das Éguas foi delicioso e fica a certeza que este lugar merece uma paragem. Não é todos os dias que se retemperam as forças com um verdadeiro petisco de aldeia alentejana: arroz com feijão e uma boa posta de bacalhau.<br />

The scenery is typical from Alentejo and the Campilhas Dam is one of the main attractions of the sector, promising rewarding picnics and a good swim during hot season.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Casas Brancashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00448303280157242035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8761284705776077126.post-72329517234627570062010-11-10T10:19:00.000-08:002010-11-22T10:36:16.857-08:00Reunião de arranque em jeito de comemoraçãoOntem tivemos a nossa primeira reunião da equipa de trabalho da Rota Vicentina: Rudolf Muller, Balz Trueb, Nuno Guimarães, Marta Cabral, Zé Granja e a recém-chegada Rita Oliveira.<br />
<br />
No magnífico cenário do Três Marias, entre muito entusiasmo, um almoço magnífico e um brinde com vinho alentejano, marcámos o arranque do projecto da melhor forma. Tivemos novas ideias, lançamos novos desafios, distribuímos várias tarefas e sentimo-nos preparados para abrir caminho. De terra batida, já agora...<br />

Nasceu de uma reunião de pequenos empresários da área do turismo rural desta região, que viam numa rede de percursos pedestres a resposta evidente à procura de um caminho mais sustentado, verde e integrado.<br />
<br />
Desde 2007 que a <a href="http://www.casasbrancas.pt/">Associação Casas Brancas</a> assumiu este desafio, e contagiou os principais decisores do território, que facilmente deram todo o seu apoio ao projecto, assumindo como seus os propósitos desta aventura. Municípios, Regiões de Turismo, Parque Natural e empresários, todos juntos em torno da afirmação do Turismo de Natureza no Sudoeste: esta é hoje a realidade deste projecto.<br />
<br />
O momento de inaugurar este blog, como uma porta aberta para quem quiser partilhar do nosso entusiasmo, marca a aprovação formal de uma candidatura ao programa de financiamento <a href="http://www.twitter.com/inalentejo">Inalentejo</a>, o que fecha o principal factor de incerteza relativamente ao seu desfecho.<br />
<br />
Temos agora todas as condições para concretizar este projecto, e para partilhar com qualquer visitante o que esta região tem de melhor, a sua cultura, as suas paisagens, o seu ritmo pausado, os seus cheiros, as 4 estações, e sobretudo, as suas gentes. Mas também as suas opiniões, as suas dificuldades, os seus sonhos e a sua esperança, tudo ao alcance de quem vier por bem, e a passo. Caminhos pedestres, de terra, pedra e suor.<br />
<br />
Declaramos inaugurado o projecto ROTA VICENTINA. Sejam bem vindos.<br />

</div><div style="color: #666666;"><i>Rota Vicentina is a project of a long distance pedestrian route that will run from Sagres in the Algarve till Santiago do Cacém in Alentejo. Since 2007, <a href="http://www.casasbrancas.pt/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=44&lang=en">Casas Brancas Association</a> assumed this challenge, managing to create a wide partnership with local power, Natural Park and regional tourism organizations. The strategic objective is to contribute for the definitive implementation and growth of Nature Tourism in the Southwest of the country as a fundamental pillar for its sustainable growth.</i></div><div style="color: #666666;"><i><br />
With the official approval of the European funding program, InAlentejo, the project can officially start, and this blog inaugurates a new step, where we want to share with the region's enthusiasts and outdoor lovers the main achievements that will come with time.</i></div>Casas Brancashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00448303280157242035noreply@blogger.com0
