Porta de Lamas de Mouro
I strongly recommend a preliminary visit to the Information Centre of Lamas de Mouro. The region is rich in megaliths, if only just a few are very striking. The staff available at the Information Centre may not be in position to answer sophisticated questions.

On this homepage : http://adere-pg.pt/trilhos/percursos3.php,
click on "Porta de Lamas de Mouro", and among the percoursos, select "Trilho do Megalitismo do Planalto de Castro Laboreiro" ("trilho" = "trail" ; "Castro Laboreiro" is the village at the end of road N.202-3), to open the page :

That trail, the "Trail of the Plateau of Castro Laboreiro" starts at Rodeiro (42.054760, -8.140130). It is 13 km long one way, estimated duration 4 hr one way – and you have to come back on foot ! It will lead you to about 30 mamoas (tumuli), out of which only a few, towards the end of the trail, has been searched. All trails are reputed very well marked.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
