La ferrata se encuentra justo debajo de la ermita que domina el pueblo, por lo que justo antes de llegar al pueblo, hay que tomar el cruce hacia la Ermita de Nossa Senhora da Penha (De N246-1 a EM1008), y aparcar en el aparcamiento situado junto a la ermita.
The via ferrata is just below the hermitage that stands high above the village, so to get there it is necessary to turn right at the juntion to Nossa Senhora da Penha hermitage just before the village (From N246-1 to EM1008), and park at the car park located next to the hermitage

Para llegar a la ferrata hay que tomar la senda que sube a la ermita, pero justo antes de empezar a ascender las escaleras, tomaremos una senda que sale a su derecha siguiendo unos puntos amarillos en descenso, lo más recomendable es colocarse junto a la pared de roca y seguirla hasta el inicio de la vía ferrata, porque está muy mal marcado.
To get to the ferrata we took the path that goes to hermitage but just before the stairs got the new path on the right with yellow signs. I recommend to stay next to the rocky wall and carry on next to it all the time until you reach to the beginning of via ferrata, because it is not well signed

Descripción (Description): Ferrata corta, muy fácil y perfecta para iniciación, no presenta ninguna dificultad, al final de la vía tiene un pequeño desplome fácil de superar. Termina justo en la ermita.
Descenso desde la ermita hasta el aparcamiento por la escalera dejada a la izquierda al ir a coger la vía.
It is a short and really easy Ferrata, perfect for beginners. It is not challeging at all. Almost at the end, it has an small overhang easily climbable. It ends at the hermitage.
Descend to the car park, following the stairs left on the left at the beginning.

Descripción (Description): Vía muy bien diseñada y bastante divertida gracias a su diversidad, alterna subidas y bajadas, partes verticales y con más tumbadas. Destaca una placa vertical casi al final de la vía. Termina en la cima del macizo, permitiendo una preciosa vista de 180 grados.
Via ferrata well designed and enjoyable thanks to its variety, it alterns ups and downs, steep areas with more lied ones. it stands out a vertical slab almost at the end of the via. It ends on the summit of the hill, offering a fantastic 180º view of all around.

Nivel (Level): K4/5
Localización (Location): Barragem de Santa Luzia (Embalse de Santa Luzia) (Santa Luzia Dam)
La vía se encuentra en una de la pared rocosa localizada a la derecha de la presa, por lo que aparcamos en el pequeño parking situado en la curva justo en frente de la presa.
No hay apenas aproximación, pero para llegar al inicio de la ferrata hay que cruzar un riachuelo. Aunque hay un par de piedras para poder cruzar sin problemas, dependiendo del caudal puede que haya que descalzarse.
The ferrata is located on the right rocky wall of the dam, so we parked at the small car park located at the bend in from of the dam.
It is a 2 minutes walk from the car park, but to get to the beginning it is necessary to cross a small river, there a couple big stones to do it, but depending on the flow you might need to take your shoes off.

Descripción (Description): De largo la ferrata más difícil de las tres. A pesar de no ser una vía de mucha dificultad, está muy bien equipada y asegurada, es muy mantenida y requiere tener un buen estado de forma, debido a que esta desplomada casi en su totalidad.
With no doubt the hardest one. Even though it is not very difficult, and it is well belayed and secured, it is quite tough and it requires a good level of fitness, as it is overhung almost the whole time.

Contiene 5 muros verticales, desplomados y bastante mantenidos en los que habrá que tirar bastante de brazo. Una vez en la parte de arriba del embalse solo quedará seguir la sirga por el sendero hasta el mirador del embalse de Santa Luzia
It has 5 vertical, quite overhung and long enough walls on which you will only be able to use your arms. Once on top of the dam you just need to follow the saftey line un til the point view of Santa Luzia's dam
