PR3.1 separates in Matacães, at kilometer 6, before the ascent to the windmills. Walkers should follow the directions that will take them back to Quinta das Lapas.

The PR3.2 separates in Monte Redondo, next to the Church of Divino Espírito Santo, at kilometer 10. Walkers should follow the municipal road 575 until Quinta das Lapas. This is one of the most beautiful estates in the region, classified by the Portuguese Institute of Architectural Heritage - IPPAR as a property of public interest. Its set of houses and gardens represents one of the most significant examples of the theatrical effects pursued by Baroque civil architecture, inspired by erudite models of the Italian Renaissance. Currently, it works as a recovery center for drug addicts.
