You can still see the occasional oxen and cart in this lovely unspoilt rural countryside with its host of charming hamlets and villages where the local cafe / bar is still the hub of rural life.

The wonderful lush green scenery all year round and stunning views especially in the Peneda National Park offers those so inclined splendid sightseeing and a host of outdoor activities such as walking, mounting biking, canoeing, fishing and bird watching together with a chance to relax and sunbathe by their own private swimming pool when feeling less energetic.

For those interested in the history of the area, there is an array of ancient churches, medieval towns and fortifications, Roman bridges and viaducts together with numerous Celtic settlements. There are several golf courses in North Portugal, but the nearest is in Galicia some 20 kms away.

The Portuguese love to party and are some of the most friendly people you can wish to meet. There hospitality is second to none, probably due to the odd glass of wine. Throughout the summer months there are fiestas and folklore festivals with music and dancing everywhere and generally free of charge.
