Póvoa de Lanhoso
Póvoa de Lanhoso's main reference is the castle located on a granite outcrop above the valley. The Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora do Pilar occupies the same hill, while the interpretive center and other places in the municipality help to contextualize the ancient occupation. Final access to the castle must be confirmed, especially in bad weather or reduced mobility. An editorial introduction to the 777 km circuit that connects Minho, Trás-os-Montes, Douro and Porto.
