Itinerary
Ponte da Misarela is a magical place that, according to legend, was built by the Devil. We will visit the bridge in a quiet, short walk of about 30 minutes.
Fecha das Barjas, also known as Tahiti Waterfall, is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Peneda-Gerês National Park
The Pedra Bela Viewpoint is probably the best known in Gerês due to the great scenic beauty that can be seen from there, an authentic natural amphitheatre with the bridges of the Caldo River and the Caniçada reservoir as a backdrop.
On a nice and calm walk of about 20 minutes, we will visit one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Portugal and Spain.
The "granaries of Soajo" comprise a communal threshing floor made up of 24 granaries, some of which are still in use; all are made of stone and set on a granite outcrop. The oldest dates from 1782. Lunch at a regional restaurant
Come and discover the unique beauty of the oldest village in Portugal, which hides deep roots and ancient legends. We will cross the Roman bridge to visit the International Garden Festival area and make a brief visit to the historic area of the village in a journey of about an hour.
Next to Lindoso Castle, there is a community threshing floor and a set of 50 granaries from the 17th and 18th centuries. Our visit to the granaries and Lindoso Castle will last about 30 minutes.
