This healthy cultural journey in the Amarela mountain range will then include a visit to a small mountain village, with its typical Minho architecture, to which we will dedicate our curiosity and attention.
You will become aware, by observing the rural landscape, of how Man has lived with the presence of the wolf for centuries.
Before lunch in a restaurant with typical Minho cuisine, we will go back thousands of years to interpret “in situ” and in the Nature, Petroglyphs from different periods of our history.
We will continue to discover the heritage of the Amarela mountain range, this time embracing the medieval military architecture, in its important and centuries-old border context.
In your time travel, you will return to a pleasurable picnic that includes the typical dishes of the region.
