    Tips

    High on a hill near Afonso Vicente, stand the Lavajo Menhirs, Neolithic stone sentinels that have guarded the silence of this valley for over five thousand years. Carved in greywacke and engraved with circles and dimples, these monoliths seem to align themselves in an ancient mystery.

    Recovered and restored in 2004, they have returned to their original location, inviting passersby to imagine a time when the stone spoke to the sun.

      We just walked into a hunting party on Sunday. Watch out for the signs. Hunting is allowed on Sundays and Thursdays from mid-August to the end of February
