Hiking
The Miradouro da Cerca, located in the village of Urrós (municipality of Mogadouro, near Miranda do Douro), is one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the Douro International Natural Park and is part of a route that many consider worthy of the title of “Europe’s Grand Canyon.”
It offers stunning views of the deep and rugged valley of the Douro River, which marks the natural border between Portugal and Spain.

Near the village of Urrós, the Cerca Viewpoint awaits you with a breathtaking view. From the top of an imposing rock, you are treated to a dramatic view of the Douro River Gorge, where the steep cliffs form the natural border between the Mirandese Plateau and the Spanish mainland. A magnificent view, impossible to forget!
