Castro de São Paulo

Highlight • Historical Site

This place holds ancient memories, with remains dating back to the Bronze Age, with fragments of pottery that reveal human presence since ancient times. But the story did not end there: occupation extended into the Iron Age and continued during Roman rule.

The ancient defensive walls of Castro de São Paulo, now almost gone, were worn down by time or transformed into terraces by the hands of farmers who, over the centuries, shaped the landscape to suit their needs.

Calçada de Alpajares

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Calçada de Alpajares winds through the landscape as a testament to times gone by: a medieval path, perhaps forged during the era of the first dynasty. For centuries, it was a very important route, especially until the beginning of the 20th century, before the Estado Novo roads redesigned the country's routes.

This ancient route linked the north, the lands of Miranda, to the south, the Ribacôa region. Its original course approached the Douro River, descending to Freixo de Espada à Cinta, before heading along the slopes of the Poiares mountain range towards the village that shares the same name.

Ponte de Santa over the Ribeira do Mosteiro

Highlight • Bridge

The Ponte de Santa bridge stretches over the Ribeira do Mosteiro. Beneath it, amidst the whispering water and the gentle warmth of the sun, you can rest on one of the large stone slabs that are spread out there, as if they were made to welcome travelers in need of rest.

The scenery around you is pure enchantment: the schist slopes are torn apart by impressive quartzite outcrops that burst from the earth, erected in almost sculptural forms, a geological spectacle that is as intriguing as it is beautiful.
