    In the heart of the Serra da Peneda stands a sanctuary where faith and legend intertwine. It is said that in 1220, Our Lady of the Snows appeared to a shepherdess and, since then, the cult grew, attracting pilgrims from Portugal and Galicia. The current church, completed in 1875, crowns a majestic staircase with statues of the virtues.
