Moinho Garcia is easy to reach  with the car, because the two main traffic axes of Portugal pass nearby; The A1 Porto Lisboa and the N1 IC2 Porto Coimbra. From the A1 you take the Exit Estarreja and drive to Pinheiro da Bemposta. From the N1 IC2 you turn in Pinheiro da Bemposta direction Estarreja. Shortly after a Cepsa-gasstation at a crossing you turn slightly left to the campo de futbol pinheirense. After 800 meters and a garage you turn left into rua garcia, into a forest till the mill. 
 
The parking 
The last 200 Meters to the mill are dirtway. And the last 30 meters into the valley are steep. Please, park your car 30 meters above the mill, at the parking sign and descend the last meters by foot. Later you can decide wether you want to park the car directly in front of the mill or not.
