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.

These storage facilities are truly unique. The sheer number of storage facilities in one location is also impressive.

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.

Built on a granite hill over 1,000 metres above sea level, the castle dominates the Laboreiro River valley, offering spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. Its origins are ancient, probably dating back to Roman or pre-Roman times, but the current structure mainly reflects medieval modifications and extensions, particularly during the Reconquista and the formation of the Kingdom of Portugal. The castle, although now in ruins, still preserves its defensive walls, part of the watchtower and the main gate, elements that testify to its strategic importance in controlling the borders. It is a symbol of the history and resistance of the region, and its isolated and wild location adds to its charm.
