This particular viewpoint is located in Fafião, a historic village in the municipality of Cabril in Montalegre. The peculiarity of this viewpoint is that it is located on a huge granite block connected to another rock by a small iron bridge. From the Fafião viewpoint you can admire a breathtaking landscape, not least because the viewpoint is 800 meters high. You can see the Salamonde Dam, the Fafião River (a tributary of the Cávado) and the Fojo do Lobo, one of the largest wolf traps in the Iberian Peninsula - a stone structure used to protect livestock and villages.

definitely make a detour to Poco Verde, wonderful cooling in crystal clear water, then follow the official path, then it will be a fantastic circular walk
