The challenge of crossing Portugal from east to west, from the highest point to the beach with the biggest waves in the world is, necessary, for giants. But it is more. It’s a little more than effort and glory. It’s courage, management, and a lot of evasion along the paths that take them from Serra da Estrela to the isolated and beautiful Schist Villages in Lousã. These are paths of faith on the Fatima side that will take you to the magnificent and gigantic waves of Nazaré. It will be a time for a lot of things, hopefully of fullness.

We are in the first month of winter and traditionally it is a time of very low temperatures and rain. Starting at the highest point in Portugal means being able to begin the challenge with negative temperatures and maybe snow. It is this set of factors, coupled with the distance and gradient that will make you a giant.
