Between terraces and traditions, this program invites you to discover the granite villages that are the mirror of resistance, memory and harmony between man and nature.
Unforgettable marks on the landscape and in the soul of the mountains. The mountain villages of the Peneda-Gerês National Park are the guardians of millennia-old stories, knowledge and customs.
In this program, you’ll walk the paths of transhumance, share the hospitality of the local communities and contemplate landscapes that fill the soul.
