Walk in the footsteps of Jacinto de Tormes and Zé Fernandes, the two main characters in the famous book "A
Cidade e as Serras" (1901) by Eça de Queiroz.
The story is comparing the emptiness of upper-class life in Paris with the pleasures found in rural Portugal, in Tormes to be precise.
The walk is described in the novel and runs from the train station of Tormes to the Eça Queiroz Foundation, based in Casa de Tormes.
The beautiful scenery hasn't changed much since the book's publication.
