The beginning of August 2023 will forever be etched in the memory of Rota Vicentina and the local community. Two devastating fires struck the region, affecting the Walking and Cycling Trails of Rota Vicentina in Alentejo and Algarve. One significant damage was the partial destruction of the bridge over the Seixe Stream, an infrastructure of the Historical Way, connecting the two regions.
