Lapa da Moura is on the "Trail of the Megalithism of Britelo". That trail starts in Britelo.
Take the church of Britelo as a reference point, but you cannot leave your car in the narrow and steep roads, so keep going uphill.
After leaving the village of Britelo, the paved roads become earth roads ; their surface are fairly bumpy. Don't despair, but go on foot in case of rain (circular trail, 11 km, 3 hr).
To visit Lapa da Moura, please read first the description and comments on our page related to the Porta do Lindoso.
