The Pincho pedestrian trail is a short-distance trail (PR5 - portuguese acronym), integrated in the Municipal Network of Pedestrian trails of Viana do Castelo, marked and signaled according to international guidelines. The numbering is assigned by the Municipality of Viana do Castelo.

This trail is located in the parish of S. Lourenço da Montaria, Viana do Castelo Municipality, a typical mountain village that brings together the most authentic, bucolic and picturesque features in Alto Minho. Located on the western slope of the mountain, it is the ultimate exponent of rurality with ways of life passed down from generation to generation over the centuries. Its strong mountain character is also reflected in the architecture, where shale mixed with granite contrasts with the terraces used for agriculture, in the conduction of water for irrigation and watermills.
