Welcome to Luso
Luso lies downhill from the forest, 3km by winding road into the centre or a far more direct walk on shady paths. A spa town for the past hundred years or so, it still draws crowds of Portuguese, taking the waters as a cure for rheumatism and other complaints. As such places go, its dated charm makes it worth a brief stop, and visitors are welcome to try the various treatments at the Termas de Luso (May-Oct; Web: www.termasdoluso.com ), by the twin roundabouts on the main thoroughfare, Rua Emídio Navarro. Otherwise, a turn around the small town centre (population 3000) and municipal park won't occupy more than an hour.
