Ancient pilgrimage place devoted to the founder of Benedictine congregation. Lots of devoted visit asking for health miracles. Despite the religious leit motiv it is a place with a superb view. Worth the visit if near by. Very popular and folk market too.

The view is just breathtaking!!
The area surround it is just gorgeous and it's a great place for a picnic.
This viewpoint is accessible by car (there's enough area for parking). Alternatively, you can hike all the way up (not easy..).
Highly recommended if you are in the Peneda-Geres National Park.

The day trip we spent in the Mountains of Geres yesterday ( 30 August 2017) was an unforgettable experience! Tailor made for our needs as fit pensioners we hiked, we lunched and drove all over the area above Geres with our guide, Carlos.
This area of Portugal is stunning but not for the faint hearted! With the help of a guide we felt confident and knowledgeable by the end of the day. It was the highlight of our 3 day stay in Geres. Well worth saving your pennies for these tours!

An interesting friendly little town with its iconic arched bridge - much longer than you would possibly expect. Some interesting bronze artwork near the river and some not so interesting metal and plastic 'cut-out' Roman Soldiers near the bank illustrating a legend about Legionnaires being afraid to cross until encouraged by their leader (depicted on horseback on the far bank).
Ample car parking - worth a visit.

We booked a half day horseback ride for six people online. Miguel Faria and the staff could not have been more helpful or accommodating. Due to rain on the day of the ride, Miguel changed the itinerary to have lunch at a local restaurant instead of the usual picnic. This worked out well. We very much enjoyed the route that the ride took. The horses were well cared for and easy to ride. Miguel is willing to do whatever it takes to meet his clients needs. This day was a highlight of our trip to Portugal.

My experience at Quinta de Lamoso was outstanding. This is a magnificent and laid back spot for horse lovers right in the heart of the Minho region, where tradition and rurality are still preserved at it's best.
Everything was absolutely spot on, the horses, the views of the farm, the family environment created by the always helpful Manuel, everything was absolutely 5 stars! More than a horse ridding club with all the formalities this is the kind of place where we could take time to relax , be in contact with nature and have a wonderful time with our familly, always surrounded by our favourite animals ;-)).
What's also surprising is that being a horse related activity the prices at this place are very reasonable, I presume as a result of being in a rural area, but definitely that was the cherry on top of the cake. I am usually quite sceptical about getting on board of these bargains - and I was somehow expecting some king of catch - but I can say with confidence that there is no catch here. It is a genuine family managed business where we spend an amazing time, and I am very positive that we will be back.

Pulled at high speed by a motor boat on an inflatable sofa - Fabulous. The kids loved it. The parents loved it as they sat in comfort on the boat as Pete and his son Ricardo pay a lot of attention to safety, whilst giving the kids the thrills and tumbles they delighted in. Cannot recommend it enough, but make sure you choose 'Pete's place' though. Not for the faint hearted but our 8 year old and her 13 and 15 year old brothers nominated it as the highlight of a lovely holiday

Reviewed By makakito - Lisbon, Portugal
This is a unique place, in top of a natural huge stone. You also got the statue of virgin Mary protecting the city, a restaurant/coffee shop, an old church, and an old (small castle). We could enter the castle, but not the main tower, which was supposed to be open that day. The tower says in Portuguese it is closed 2 days of the week, Tuesday I think, and Wednesday, and then in English Tuesday and Thursdays, which is confusing at best, however it was a Friday and it was closed too. Nevertheless, a place worthy a visit if you are driving nearby Braga.

Reviewed By Leslie E - Kettering, United Kingdom
The river Lima rises in the high Mountains of the Penede -Geres national park and the motorway ends just above the lovely little town of Ponte da Barca- named after the ancient many- arched bridge that spans a wide stretch of the Lima. Quaint grey stone houses; a beautiful riverside park; several places to eat; and a lovely little courtyard with a cross, that has the aura of an old cloister about it, provides a shady spot at the end of the bridge - perfect for a picnic There is also, nearby, one of the main information offices that provides maps and data on the delights of the National park -without which you might even have been seduced into going no further than Ponte da Barca itself. To get the best of both worlds, therefore, set off early in the day as Ponte de Barca - and lower downstream, Ponte da Lima merit at least a couple of hours exploration.
