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.

Bico do Patelo, literally "Patelo’s Beak," is a striking granite rock formation in Peneda-Gerês National Park. Its bold shape rises above the surrounding hills, catching the eye from different points along the PR3 Castrejo trail. As you approach, the unusual form makes it a natural landmark and one of the memorable sights of the hike.

Hello, I would like to do this trail but I would like to know if you make stops among the points where you took photos and to know how many minutes you stayed at the points. Thank you for your feedback 😊

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.

The terraces of the Vez Valley, between Padrão and Porta Cova, are a masterpiece of the relationship between man and nature. Created by our ancestors to cultivate the land and ensure their livelihood, they change with each season, painting the landscape with ever-new colors. It is no wonder that this unique landscape was elected one of the “7 Wonders of Portugal” in the Rural Village category.

Known for their hot waters and therapeutic properties, the waters emerge at a temperature of around 77ºC, although the thermal pools are regulated to offer bathing at more comfortable temperatures, around 40ºC. These hot springs are rich in minerals such as sodium, calcium and bicarbonate, and are believed to help in the treatment of rheumatic and skin conditions.
