Lagoa da Meadinha is a small lagoon located in Peneda-Gerês National Park, in the Meadinha area, very close to the famous granite wall that attracts climbers. It is a natural lagoon with calm waters, formed by the accumulation of water in granite depressions.

Bico do Patelo, literally "Patelo’s Beak," is a striking granite rock formation in Peneda-Gerês National Park.

As you approach, the unusual form makes it a natural landmark and one of the memorable sights of the hike.

The Ponte Velha de Castro Laboreiro is a medieval-style bridge over the Laboreiro River, bordering the Peneda-Geres National Park. The exact date of construction of the Old Bridge is unknown, but it is likely to have been between the 15th and 16th centuries. Also known as the Ponte dos Mouros (Old Bridge), the bridge served as a crossing over the deep waterfalls of the Laboreiro River, across to the mills located on the left bank, as well as an old access road to Castro Laboreiro Castle. The bridge is approximately 5 meters long and rises approximately 5 meters above the river without any side walls.

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 (By the way, it was on a Saturday afternoon and very quiet)

Among the low scrubland, oak groves and winding streams, the imposing granite outcrops that define this mountain landscape stand out. Sculpted by time, wind and water, they form escarpments and rocks of improbable balance, such as the Bico do Patelo, an immense rock that seems to defy gravity. In this wild landscape, the mountain goat reigns supreme, agile and imposing, running along the cliffs as if they were trails traced just for it.

It is a site of great historical and tourist interest, combining nature and history in a unique setting.
