Up here, where the Ribeira de Vilarinho embraces the Douro, stands the ancient Castro de Vilarinho dos Galegos, also known as Castelo dos Mouros. Here, a natural viewpoint offers a wide view over the hillsides covered in junipers. But the real surprise lies on the ground: a sea of sharp, chaotic quartz stones created an almost insurmountable defence. Soon after, a deep moat carved into the rock served as the final barrier. Nature and ingenuity united in a fortress that has withstood the test of time.

Along the trail that once served as a route for smugglers, there is a viewpoint that honours its past: the Miradouro do Contrabando. From up here, the view over the vertiginous Douro valley is breathtaking. In the past, many people passed through these winding paths in silence and hope, crossing the border in search of a more dignified life.

5G does not yet work well in this area. I was only able to save a very short part of my ride and could not pin the photos to the route. Hopefully it will get better soon.
