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. The landscape is spectacular: large granite boulders, meadows, and views of the Gerês mountain range. It is ideal for photography, wildlife observation, and relaxing on hiking trails.

Peneda Waterfall, located next to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Peneda: It is located in the parish of Gavieira, municipality of Arcos de Valdevez, within the Peneda-Gerês National Park. It has a drop of 30 meters, visible from afar thanks to its white spray. The waters fall just behind the former dormitories of the Sanctuary, now converted into the Hotel Peneda, and flow under the building before joining the Peneda River.

Traditional haystack (Meda de feno) at Branda do Furado. These cone-shaped stacks were carefully built to store and dry grass for the winter. A central wooden pole stabilizes the pile and prevents the hay from slipping or being blown away, preserving it for livestock. They are a distinctive feature of the traditional agricultural life in the Peneda-Gerês mountains.

Here the trail passes several ruins belonging to Branda de Crastibô. A branda is a type of seasonal settlement in the mountains, where people used to move with their cattle in summer (transhumance tradition, especially in Peneda-Gerês).

The current building dates back to the mid-18th century and was, for a time, a barracks. It's very robustly constructed from stone blocks and charmingly furnished. The clean, small rooms are designed for pilgrims and short stays and are perfectly adequate. The small restaurant also conjures up delicious local dishes.

The final ascent to the Church of the Sanctuary is via the Staircase of the Virtues, with statues depicting Faith, Hope, Charity, and Glory, dated 1854 and a work by the master Francisco Luis Barreiros. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theologische_Tugenden There is now a fee-based elevator nearby to avoid this final effort. Visually, it doesn't appeal to me. :-(
