It was in Foz Côa, in Largo do Tablado, that the prices of shelled and shelled almonds were set for the whole country, as, in the old days, this was the largest area of national almond production, even influencing prices in the Mediterranean markets.

This walk begins at Tablado Square, a historical recreation of the times when almond prices were set nationwide. Passing through the traditional and popular St. Michael fair, we continue exploring the history and almond groves of the "hot land" of Foz Côa, where we learn about almond trees and how they are cultivated. Returning to the city of Foz Côa, we visit the historic center, highlighting the main church with its Manueline façade and the pillory. We conclude this tour with a toast of honor to celebrate the good times spent on this walk.
