It is a location where for many centuries nature and culture have blended in a very harmonious way. The valley is surrounded by an overwhelming mountain range. Stunning views show a valley dotted with 5 tiny villages, a medieval atmosphere. A rural population still work the land as did there forebears. A really inspiring location, where 'sense of place' is felt immediately. No tourists, no industry, no highways. A lively, although secluded world, caminhas antigas, Roman roads, Romanic bridges, mountain streams, rocks, women washing at the communal washbasin, the local festas, the rustic ruins and above all a lot of space and silence.
