Short description
Miuzela do Côa Biodiversity Station belongs to the Natura 2000 Malcata site and it mostly coincides with the Grande Rota do Côa. This is the second station created in this rout. You can also visit the Fóios EBIO, located in the source of the river and so in the beginning of this great trail with about 200 km. Before initiating the trail we advise you to enjoy the picnic park and the river beach to get to know better some of the Côa river dragonflies and damselflies (P1). Already on the way to Sequeiros Bridge, you will first cross a meadow’s area, followed by a rocky slope covered by Mediterranean bush
