Here are some pictures I took last Weekend on a hike along part of the Lines of Torres Vedras. It was the second of these walks along the Lines. They are being regularly organised by the British Embassy in Lisbon. About 100 hikers walk for about two hours, with guides, visiting to the forts and then retiring to a local tasca (restaurant) for a hearty meal.
Part of the Lines and some of the forts have been quite well restored and preserved. There are visitor's centers, very well made pamphlets and explanatory boards in Portuguese and English and it is within an hour and a half drive from Lisbon.
A perfect Saturday outing!
