ペネダジェレス国立公園周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

A very interesting location with all the traditional granaries ("esquigueiros") clustered together on a large rock. The view from here is also very beautiful.

The Espigueiros of Soajo are one of the most iconic symbols of northern Portugal and the Peneda-Gerês National Park. They are traditional granaries built of stone and wood, designed to store corn and other grains. They are raised on pillars with "mouse stones" (circular slabs) to prevent rodents from entering. They are covered with gabled roofs and topped with crosses, reflecting the religious influence on rural life.

Sanctuary of Our Lady of Peneda, located in northern Portugal: It is located in the parish of Gavieira, municipality of Arcos de Valdevez, within the Peneda-Gerês National Park, about 150 km from Porto. [pt.wikipedia.org], [danielasan...araujo.com] It is built over a cave beneath a granite massif known as Penedo da Meadinha, in a spectacular location bordering a deep valley.

Warning: This is an extremely dangerous location, with a significant risk of falling. Due to erosion, the rocks are extremely smooth, making them slippery even in dry weather.

The sanctuary was built between the end of the 18th century and the third quarter of the 19th century. The church was completed in 1875.

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.
