Castle ruins in a dominant location on a hill, in difficult to access terrain.

These are the ruins of a Romanesque castle with a walled enclosure around a central tower with a cistern, located on the top of an isolated hill at 1,033 meters (3,389 feet) above the Minho and Lima rivers. It has an oval plan oriented north-south.
The main entrance is the Porta do Sol, which opens to the east, while the Gate of Traitors, the Porta do Sapo, is located at the other end. The exit is well-maintained and normal for its location.

Nice walk but certainly not easy and not flat. Lots of scrambling and climbing
First part was a lot of climbing but doable. Descent after the castle was sometimes difficult
