Arnozelo is a small village located in the municipality of Vila Nova de Foz Côa, in the district of Guarda, in northern Portugal. Although not well-known among tourists, it is part of a region of great scenic, historical, and cultural value, especially due to its proximity to the Côa Valley, famous for its prehistoric rock art sites, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Arnozelo is located somewhat remotely in the Upper Douro wine-growing region. A good idea would be to purchase one of the houses for sale here and open a pub.

Pocinho is a village in the municipality of Vila Nova de Foz Côa, located on the left bank of the Douro River. Its railway station is the current terminus of the Linha do Douro. The small town developed with the construction of the station in the 19th century, which served as a warehouse for goods such as minerals and agricultural products. The Pocinho Dam is located next to the village, which currently provides a road connection between the districts of Guarda and Bragança.

From a distance, the building resembles a large outcrop emerging from the ground, and its facade is composed of mineral pigments in concrete, mimicking the natural irregularities of the region's metamorphic rocks. The Côa Museum does not replace a visit to the rock art sites in the Côa Valley Archaeological Park, but it is a gateway that allows visitors to discover the artistic richness of the Côa and Douro valleys. Furthermore, the museum houses the largest library in Portugal dedicated to rock art. 😊

The Côa Museum opened on July 30, 2010, and is located on one of the slopes where the Douro and Côa rivers meet. Designed by architects Camilo Rebelo and Tiago Pimentel, the museum is one of the largest in Portugal. Its design is inspired by the notion that "Paleolithic art in the Côa Valley is perhaps the earliest manifestation of 'Land art.'"

Coa Valley is the largest Paleolithic open-air museum in the world. The museum provides a nice insight with replicas and screens

In the other direction up to Villa Nova a steep climb, I had less traffic

Final kilometers of N222 going along Rio Duoro. Monument at the start of N222 and Cafe in Almendra. Protected area to both sides of the road, fantastic views. Route also passes by museum with early human rock drawings.
