A rewarding road-route stop for Aboboreira mountain, Romanesque heritage and green Douro slopes.
Baião stretches between the Douro and the Aboboreira and Marão mountains. The Santo André de Ancede Monastery, the foundation dedicated to Eça de Queiroz in Tormes and the megalithic monuments are located in different parts of the municipality. The visit should reserve time for mountain roads and not present all places as if they belonged to the same urban center.
