Fermentelos Pateira Route“ Walk”
Known as Pateira de Fermentelos, this is the largest natural lagoon on the Iberian Peninsula. It is a sensitive area and an important NATURA 2000 wetland. It contains habitats, ecosystems and species with national and international protection status. It is in the lagoon that the visitor encounters the natural space and its biophysical components, and it is here that the desire to visit arises. The Pateira is one of Europe's richest ecosystems, with a wide variety of fish and birds, some of them permanent, others seasonal, which see this lagoon as one of their last refuges in a Europe where large habitats are reminders of a distant past. It is against this idyllic backdrop, painted in watercolours, where the sky is reflected in the calm waters of the lagoon and where the sun brushes the horizon in shades of red, that we will walk and enjoy all the surrounding beauty.

O Rio Mira
O Mira nasce na serra do Caldeirão, a 470 m de altitude e a sua bacia hidrográfica está quase toda contida no concelho de Odemira, o maior concelho português em área. O rio Mira foi utilizado, desde tempos muito recuados, como fonte de recursos, como via de comunicação e como fonte de energia renovável (moinhos de maré). No estuário do rio Mira, o efeito de maré sente‑se até um pouco a montante de Odemira. O principal afluente do rio Mira é a ribeira do Torgal. Da ponte do Sol‑posto para montante ou para jusante, é possível contemplar galerias ripícolas deslumbrantes e bem conservadas. Ocorrem espécies de grande valor para a conservação na ribeira do Torgal. ma das espécies emblemáticas do rio Mira é a enguia‑europeia (Anguilla anguilla), um peixe migrador com um ciclo de vida fascinante. O único local do mundo onde ocorre o escalo‑do‑mira (Squalius torgalensis), um pequeno peixe, é numa pequena área da bacia do rio Mira, principalmente na ribeira do Torgal. Tem o estatuto de conservação “criticamente em perigo”. No verão, o escalo‑do‑mira é especialmente vulnerável quando fica limitado aos pegos, zonas mais profundas das ribeiras, que conservam água durante o estio.
E como curiosidade, o rio Mira é dos poucos rios portugueses que corre na direção Sudoeste-Noroeste. O estuário do rio Mira tem cerca de 150m de largura máxima, profundidade média de 6m e máxima de 13m. Antigamente era designado de “Rio Mestre de água Salgada”, pois era o maior da região, onde a influência das marés chegava até Odemira. O número de moinhos de Maré no rio Mira chegou a cerca de 15.

Event Description
Do you know what Lisbon looked like when the Romans arrived here in 137 BC? How was the Roman city of Olisipo organised on the ground? What were its most emblematic buildings? Come with us on this walk and find out not only the answer to these questions, but also other curious aspects of the Roman presence in Lisbon.
The walk follows paths of great historical and heritage interest, starting in the garden of Praça D. Luís I, heading towards Cais do Sodré and from there, by the Tagus, to Praça do Comércio. The route will then continue along the riverside area of the Roman city of Olisipo, then up through the heart of Alfama to Portas do Sol. This is followed by a circuit around the Castle hill, stopping off at some of the most significant sites of the Roman presence in Lisbon. After reaching the Lisbon Cathedral area, rich in various testimonies from Roman times, the walk will continue to the Praça da Figueira and Praça do Rossio areas, where the Necropolis and the Roman Circus will be discussed. On the way back to the starting point of the walk, we'll pass by the Archaeological Centre of Rua dos Correeiros and the Cryptoporticus of Rua da Conceição. A little surprise is in store for the end.
Throughout the walk, which does not include visits to the museum sites, there will be brief presentations of the most significant sites, also contextualising their importance within the functioning and urban organisation of the Roman city. Another event not to be missed!

Pedra Ferida Waterfall and Louçainha Beach
The trail runs through the Serra do Espinhal in a valley where the Azenha stream flows, where we'll find the admirable Pedra Ferida waterfall, almost 25 metres high, which forms a delightful natural pool. And if the waterfall is enchanting, the trail that leads to it is enthralling. Along the Ribeira da Azenha, we are treated to lush vegetation, the omnipresent sound of running water, small pools of water, wooden bridges and old watermills. There's even a picnic area where you can enjoy a picnic surrounded by nature. A real enchanted forest to savour slowly.
Praia Fluvial da Louçainha is a small paradise in the municipality of Penela. This refuge is in the middle of the dense Serra do Espinhal. It takes advantage of the naturalness of the Azenha stream due to the construction of several dams with different depths. This place is very popular in the region due to the surrounding landscape, which conveys tranquillity due to the perfect union of the green of the mountains with the crystalline freshness of the waters
1pm - Picnic lunch suggestion (up to each participant)
15h30- Tour of Penela (Castle, Mother Church, Pillory, etc.)
The military occupation of the hill where Penela is located is very old, dating back at least to the Romans, who guarded the Mérida-Conímbriga-Braga road from here. Invaded by the Arabs in 716, it was retaken in the 11th century by Count Sesnando, the first governor of Coimbra. The count had a strong castle built on the site of the alcazaba, which he repopulated, thus creating a Christian town under the protection of the crenellated walls. Graves carved into the rock with anthropomorphic designs remain from this settlement. Its construction dates back to the 11th century, although what can be seen of the castle today only dates back to the 14th and 15th centuries. Inside is the Church of St Michael, whose earliest origins date back to the 12th century. Penela Castle is a National Monument.

Distance: 10 kilometres
Difficulty: 3.5 (Scale from 1 to 5, 1 being the easiest)
Estimated duration: 3h30m
Casal de São Simão Schist Trail
This walk takes place on the walkways of the Fragas de São Simão, visits the schist village of Casal de São Simão and runs along the idyllic banks of the Ribeira de Alge and Fato, where the old watermills still shine, and through the quiet villages of Além da Ribeira, Ponte do Brás Curado and Saondam as well as the river beach of the Fragas de São Simão.
Fragas do Casal de São Simão walkways
The Fragas de São Simão walkway is approximately 2 kilometres long and connects the Schist Village of Casal de São Simão to the lofty Fragas de São Simão viewpoint, passing by the stunning Fragas de São Simão River Beach.
Part of the "Peniche Peninsula" geosite, which is a limestone platform that has been eroded by wind, rain and the sea, you can see the beautiful shapes that erosion has created, forming a lapiás.
Casal de São Simão River Beach
The beach is a 15-minute walk (along the footpath) from the village of Casal de São Simão. The water of the Ribeira de Alge, which passes by on its way to the Zêzere, is so clear that you can see the small stones inside.
The abundance of laurel trees and cork oaks gives the air a comforting fragrance and the green of the surrounding hills, which lead to the Lousã mountain range, envelop us in beautiful scenery. The river beach is located between two imposing crags, where climbing is practised with various equipped routes, abseiling and slides. The "smaller" rocks are used as a solarium or diving board. Walking south, next to the beach, you'll find several levadas and cloaks of the region's original flora.
Schist Village of Casal de São Simão
A small village with practically a single street, essentially built from quartzite. It is located on one of the flanks of the quartzite ridge that gives rise to the Fragas de São Simão and has the oldest church in the municipality of Figueiró dos Vinhos. The village stretches along a ridge almost parallel to the course of the Ribeira de Alge. The entrance is at the highest point and the village ends where the slopes have made it difficult to continue the road.

EVENT: Walking the Caminito del Rey
DATE OF REALISATION: 3rd to 5th October 2026
INSCRIÇÕES APENAS ATÉ DIA 30 DE AGOSTO 2026
EVENT DESCRIPTION: "Walking the Caminito del Rey, El Torcal Natural Park, Seville, Antequera and Ronda"
In this activity, we'll walk and visit some of the most fabulous places in Andalusia, including the famous Caminito del Rey, on a guided tour. We'll also have time to walk in the fabulous El Torcal Natural Park, near Antequera. We'll also take a panoramic tour of Seville, as well as visiting Ronda, another of the region's ex-libris. It will be a long weekend full of strong emotions and landscapes to remember for a long time. Come with us!
These will be some of the most important places on our itinerary:
- Entrance ticket and Caminito del Rey walk
- Guided panoramic tour of Seville
- Walk in El Torcal de Antequera Natural Park
- Tour of Ronda
- Tour of Antequera
- Natural landscapes
TIME: Departure from Lisbon at 6.30am
RETURN: Arrival in Lisbon at 8.30pm
Caminito del Rey
The path is a seven-kilometre, almost aerial, vertiginous passage created by man in the walls of the Chorro and Gaitanejo gorges, north of Málaga. It was built in 1905 because the workers at a hydroelectric power station needed a way through, and it was as archaic as its use, done by rote - until a king had to cross it to inaugurate the dam, and so it got its name. Over the years, it was abandoned, collapsing or partially slipping at some points and became a danger, even being closed after the death of four tourists between 1999 and 2000.
Its total length is 7.7 kilometres, of which three kilometres are on footbridges and five on trails. It takes three to four hours to walk the entire length and is considered to be of medium difficulty, with the caveat that due to its characteristics it still involves some danger and should be done by people with the ability to do so. Not least because, even before you start, there's a good walk to get there, and it's uphill. For example, children under the age of eight are not allowed.
Seville
Seville is one of the most historic cities in the world. It was here that many of the greatest Spanish navigators (and other Portuguese navigators, but at the service of the Spanish royalty), such as Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan, left to discover the New World.
Plaza de España, whose crescent shape is travelled by beautiful carriages. Most of the buildings were constructed for the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929. To the south of the Plaza de España is the verdant María Luisa Park, a vast green space full of criss-crossing paths, birds swimming in the lakes and palaces hidden behind the foliage of the trees. We can also take a stroll along the bank of the Guadalquivir river to see the watchtower over the river - the Torre del Oro (Tower of Gold), built by the Moors and later used as a prison and warehouse for the treasures brought back from the Americas.
Antequera
Antequera is a city of great cultural and economic wealth. Its historical complex is made up of more than fifty monuments and buildings dating back to the Bronze Age, such as the Cueva de Menga dolmen, the Dólmen de Viera and the Romeral dolmen. Crowned by the castle and the basilica of Santa Maria, throughout its old town there are collegiate churches, convents, palaces, arches, gates, hermitages, stately homes and a citadel. Among the highlights are the Nájera Palace (18th century), which is now the Municipal Museum; the Catalinas Convent and the Marques de la Peña Palace, in Mudejar and Renaissance style.
El Torcal de Antequera Natural Park
El Torcal de Antequera is a nature reserve in the Sierra del Torcal located to the south of the town of Antequera, in the province of Málaga. It is known for its unusual landforms and is one of the most impressive karst landscapes in the whole of Europe. It has several beautiful hiking trails, which we will of course follow.
Ronda
In the heart of Andalusia there is a pearl hidden in a sea of limestone landscapes. It's called Ronda. Almost hanging from a rocky promontory, the city is separated into two parts by the "Cannon of El Tajo", a limestone gorge where the river Guadalevín flows through, the old part and the new part. In the old part, it's worth wandering around a few streets, where you'll find the Mondragón Palace, the Palace of the Marquis of Salvatierra, the home of the Moorish King (Casa del Rey Moro or the parish church. In the modern part, the Parador Nacional de Ronda viewpoint stands out, as does the Alameda del Tajo park, both with breathtaking views.

EVENT: Walking the Monks' Route
DATE OF REALISATION: 3rd to 5th October 2026
EVENT DESCRIPTION: “Walking the Route of the Monks”
In this activity we'll be walking along the Monks' Way, which connects the municipality of Tarouca to Lamego and is the same way that was used by the monks of the Cistercian Order centuries ago... Come with us and you won't regret it! Limited places.
The Monks' Way is a project involving two municipalities, Lamego and Tarouca, with a total length of approximately 42 kilometres, about 19 kilometres in the municipality of Lamego and 23 kilometres in the municipality of Tarouca. The presence of the Cistercian Monks in the Varosa Valley is irrefutable proof of the importance of this territory at regional, national and international level. Nothing is more genuine than its origins, and the history of the Varosa Valley takes us back to the genesis of our country. The lands of the Varosa Valley were settled by the Cistercian Monks, the so-called White Monks, and their connection to the first King of Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques, made them grow, increasing their properties and creating greater power over the territory and those who lived here. Their audacity and daring pushed them to follow the course of the water, the course of the Varosa River, which led them to the Douro, where they soon realised the territory's agricultural wealth, and where Lamego's first sweet wine farm, Quinta do Mosteiro, was born. To walk the Monks' Way is to discover a unique territory, prodigiously rich in history, religion and heritage, which invites a tactile approach and the discovery of the traditional uses and customs they left behind. You'll discover the Monastery of S. João de Tarouca, see the Medieval Toll Bridge and Tower of Ucanha, appreciate the imposing Monastery of Santa Maria de Salzedas, visit the Chapel of S. Pedro de Balsemão, see the uniqueness of the first installations of the Varosa Hydroelectric Company, walk the route of the epic railway line between Régua and Lamego and go around Quinta do Mosteirô, thus arriving at the Douro World Heritage Site, always flanked by breathtaking scenery.

Village of Castelo Bom
The history of Castelo Bom is lost in time. Although the lands that make up the parish today were probably once occupied by the same people to whom the Foz Côa engravings belong, the first reliable trace of human occupation of Castelo Bom dates back to the Bronze Age, as evidenced by the Bronze Age sword found here and exhibited at the Guarda Museum, it was disputed by the Portuguese, Moors, Leonese and Castilians until it passed definitively into Portuguese hands through the Treaty of Alcanizes in 1297. The Castelo de Castelo Bom is a medieval castle with a walled perimeter of irregular configuration adapted to the topography; a square keep with arrows; full arch and broken arch windows. It has a cistern in the castelejo redoubt and two 17th-century wells that are part of the town's water supply. The circular building (paiol) is probably what remains of the cylindrical tower of the barbican; vaulted cistern; two wells with architectural and urban expression, the El-Rei well with a double staircase façade, with a certain scenographic effect.
Points of interest:
- Village of Castelo Bom
- Roman Fountain
- Calvary and Alminhas
- Poço del Rey
- Porta da Vila

- Pillory and Church of Our Lady of the Assumption

Village of Castelo Mendo
An old town with a marked medieval character, it is made up of two distinct centres: the old town, with its original foundations, made up of a castle, a ruined church and vestiges of medieval town planning, all of which are enclosed by a 12th century wall; and the new town, or Arrabalde de S. Pedro, protected by a wall built during the reign of King Dinis, with marked Gothic features, and heavily affected by the 1755 earthquake.

15h45 - Walk in the Village of Alfaiates (Pelourinho, Castle and Albufeira)
The origin of the settlement is not known with certainty. Protohistoric remains have been found, but its name must be of Arab origin (possibly from the term Al-haet - wall or fence). It was part of the Leonese kingdom until the end of the 13th century. Between 1209 and 1226, it was elevated to a town and received a charter from the King of León. With the conquest of the region by King Dinis and the signing of the Treaty of Alcanizes in 1297, it became part of the Portuguese kingdom. As the border became more distant, the town's military importance diminished. Despite this, the wars of the Restoration once again brought destruction to Alfaiates. Its captain, Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas, played a key role in the defence of the region and in the remodelling of the Praça-forte, giving it its current configuration. During the French invasions in 1811, the castle played an important role in the defence of the border area.
Points of interest:
- Pelourinho
- Alfaiates Castle
- Rainha Santa Isabel Square

Walking the Meanders of the River Côa
On this route we pass the Ribeira da Paiã, in a nook and cranny with several testimonies of ancient stone constructions used to harness the waters, continuing through oak and pine forests. At the "Moinhos dos Margaridos", abandoned for decades, there is total tranquillity. The trail runs alongside the river, always covered by a lush forest of huge ash, alder, willow, oak and chestnut trees. You can admire the abandoned dams and mills and be surprised by the playful antics of otters or the hurried flitting of mallard ducks. Observing the fauna is not always easy, with birds being the easiest group to spot, and in this area we can observe mallard ducks or herons. Although more difficult, spotting otters is very rewarding. The river's landscape is also characterised by its traditional stone constructions, used to harness water for agriculture, grazing and milling, but in a very harmonious way. There are stone weirs, with their canals, levadas, stoppings and walkways, to store and ingeniously convey water to the fields or to the mills. In the area of the trail there are six mills of this type, all abandoned several decades ago, but which are interesting testimonies to the traditional architecture of the first half of the 20th century.

Pirin National Park
Pirin National Park was established to protect biodiversity on Bulgaria's second highest mountain, an area considered to be one of the best-preserved natural habitats in Europe. The park covers more than 403 square kilometres (about 156 square miles) and boasts breathtaking landscapes, ranging from barren rocky peaks and lush forests to glacial lakes and pristine rivers. It is home to numerous endangered species of flora and fauna, such as the golden eagle, the brown bear and the mountain goat.
Rila National Park
The name Rila is of Thracian origin, meaning “well-watered mountain”, due to the abundance of glacial lakes (around 200) and hot springs. Some of the longest and deepest rivers originating in Rila include the Maritsa, the Iskar and the Mesta. Rila is a mountain range with the highest mountains in Bulgaria, in the south-west of the country and one of the highest in the Balkan region. Its highest peak is Musala at 2925 metres. Most of the mountain is occupied by the Rila National Park (created in February 1992 to protect various ecosystems of national importance). The mountain is known worldwide for its 7 lakes and culturally famous for the Rila Monastery.
Rila Monastery
Founded in the 10th century, the Rila Monastery is the largest architectural ensemble of the Orthodox Church in Bulgaria. The monastery is the largest architectural ensemble of the Orthodox Church in Bulgaria. It is considered a masterpiece of the Bulgarian National Revival, a style typical of the early 19th century, when the monastery was rebuilt after a fire.
The monastery was founded by St John of Rila. The house and tomb of the saint considered to be the patron saint of Bulgaria became a holy place and today houses seven monks. The Bulgarian monastery has one of the largest monastic libraries in the Balkans with over 60,000 works. The Rila Monastery library contains unique, rare and extremely precious books from the 10th century to the present day.
Sofia
Sofia is one of Europe's oldest capitals, its history dating back to the 8th century BC, when the Thracians established a settlement in the region. Sofia has had several names in different periods of its existence, and today you can see reminiscences of the city's millennia-old history alongside modern tourist attractions. A number of rivers run through the city, including the Vladaya and the Perlovska. The upper reaches of the Iskar River run through the east of Sofia. The city is known for its numerous springs and thermal waters. Dams and artificial lakes were built in the last century.
The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was built in the neo-Byzantine style and is one of Sofia's trade marks. Built in honour of St Alexander Nevsky - and once one of the largest Orthodox churches in Europe - the cathedral is an important symbol of Bulgaria's past. The temple was built in honour of the Russian emperor Alexander II, also known as Tsar - “the liberator”, whose army freed Bulgaria from Ottoman rule in 1878. The reflection of the golden domes attracts attention, but this is a peaceful place to spend a few moments in the city.

Walking the Tunnels Route - La Fregeneda / Barca D'Alva - 17kms
Our walk will take place on what is now known as the "Route of the Tunnels", which was once the railway line linking Barca d'Alva to La Fregeneda (Spain). The old Douro Line ended at Barca d'Alva, but the railway line continued towards Spain and went as far as Paris. This line was built in 1887 by Eiffel's disciples and ran for almost a century, only closing in 1985. The route between Fregeneda and Barca d'ALva is 17 kilometres long, has 20 tunnels and 8 bridges, and the whole way is accompanied by the beautiful landscapes of Beira Interior and the river Águeda. In the past, the bridges had to be crossed using a metal beam attached to a handrail, but now the bridges have been renovated with wooden walkways that make it much easier to cross them in complete safety.

Localizada nos Balcãs, é banhada pelos mares Adriático e Jónico, sendo considerada um dos países mais seguros da Europa. Destacamos da nossa viagem os Alpes Albaneses para os amantes de natureza, as aldeias de Theth e Valbona que são o coração das montanhas, ideais para trilhos; a nível de cidades Berat (conhecida como a "cidade das mil janelas") e Gjirokastër ("cidade de pedra") oferecem arquitetura otomana preservada e castelos impressionantes e por última Tirana, a capital colorida, onde pode visitar a Praça Skanderbeg, a Mesquita Et'hem Bey e os bunkers da era comunista transformados em museus, como o Bunk'Art.

Os Alpes Albaneses
Os Alpes Albaneses, conhecidos como "Montanhas Malditas" (Bjeshkët e Nemuna), situam-se no norte da Albânia, na fronteira com Montenegro e Kosovo. É uma região de natureza intocada, com picos íngremes que atingem 2.694 metros no Maja Jezerce. Os principais destaques são as vilas remotas de Theth e Valbona, o Lago Komani e o, inesquecível, trilho de Valbona a Theth.
A cidade de Prizren
Aninhada no coração dos Bálcãs, Prizren é um testemunho da rica tapeçaria cultural e da história duradoura do Kosovo. Esta pitoresca cidade, com suas ruas de paralelepípedos e arquitetura da era otomana, é um tesouro para todos os que procuram uma mistura de charme autêntico e profundidade histórica. Prizren, situada às margens do rio Bistrica e sombreada pela vista imponente das Montanhas Shar, é uma cena saída diretamente de um conto de fadas.
A cidade de Berat
O Castelo é um dos poucos castelos da Europa ainda habitados — cerca de 100 famílias vivem dentro das muralhas, em casas otomanas. Lá dentro encontram-se a Catedral da Dormição (que aloja o Museu Onufri, 400 lek), a igreja Nossa Senhora de Vlachë e a igreja da Santíssima Trindade, visível já a partir do bairro de Mangalem. As vistas sobre o rio Osum e os bairros gemelos da cidade baixa são memoraveis.
Dia 1 – Aeroporto – Shkodra
Ao chegar ao Aeroporto Internacional de Tirana, encontraremos nosso guia local e partiremos para Shkodra, a alma tradicional do norte da Albânia. Como uma das cidades mais antigas do país, Shkodra é indiscutivelmente um de seus centros urbanos mais atraentes. A Fortaleza de Rozafa, cercada por três rios e situada às margens do Lago Shkodra (o maior corpo d'água dos Balcãs), oferece vistas incríveis da cidade e do vale. Visitaremos este local histórico, juntamente com o Boulevard Kole Idromeno, o coração pedonal da cidade velha, antes de fazermos o check-in em nosso hotel.
Dia 2 – Shkodra –ThethValley –Shkodra
Após o pequeno-almoço, seguimos para os Alpes Albaneses, chegando à vila de Theth por volta das 10h. Começamos com uma curta caminhada de uma hora até à Cascata Grunas, uma queda de água de 25 metros de altura sobre rochas calcárias num lago vibrante de cor azul-esverdeada.
De seguida faremos uma caminhada até o Olho Azul: Esta é a atração mais famosa de Theth — uma nascente natural escondida no meio das montanhas. A água é incrivelmente cristalina e de um azul penetrante. Embora pareça tentadora, a água aqui é gelada! (Distância: 5,3 km; Duração: 2h 15min).
O Parque Nacional de Theth abriga 20 espécies de mamíferos, incluindo ursos pardos e lobos, e 50 espécies de aves nidificantes, tornando-o um ecossistema alpino vital. À noite, retornamos ao nosso hotel em Shkodra.
Dia 3 – Shkodra–Koman Lake –ValbonaValley
Hoje viajamos em direção ao Vale de Valbona, localizado no coração da Província de Tropoja. Para lá chegar, faremos uma viagem de Barco de três horas pelo Lago Koman. Este enorme lago artificial, criado por uma barragem no Rio Drini, atravessa uma região selvagem "virgem" de altas falésias, cascatas e águas esmeraldas. A paisagem é frequentemente comparada aos fiordes nórdicos. Chegaremos a Valbona à noite para jantar e descansar.
Dia 4 – Valbona
Este dia é dedicado a explorar a parte superior do vale e visitamos a Cascata de Valbona. A nossa descida oferece vistas constantes de Maja Jezercës, o pico mais alto dos Alpes Dináricos. Este dia é dedicado à beleza selvagem das "Montanhas Amaldiçoadas" antes de retornarmos à nossa acomodação à tarde.
Dia 5 – Valbona–Prizren (Kosovo) –Tirana
Para chegar à capital da Albânia, passaremos pelo Kosovo, o país mais jovem da Europa. Durante a nossa viagem, faremos uma paragem na histórica cidade de Prizren. Com seu antigo bazar e mesquitas icônicas, Prizren ainda preserva a sua atmosfera oriental original. À tarde, chegaremos a Tirana. Esta capital moderna oferece uma visão abrangente do passado e do presente do país; os seus edifícios apresentam uma mistura peculiar de arquitetura otomana, fascista, comunista e contemporânea. Concluiremos o dia com um passeio a pé pelo centro da cidade.
Dia 6 – Tirana-Gjirokastra
O nosso circuito levamos a continuar para o sul até à cidade de Gjirokastra, Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO, conhecida como "A Cidade de Pedra" pelas suas mais de 350 casas históricas de pedra. Centrada no magnífico Castelo de Argjiro (o maior da Albânia), a cidade é famosa pelo seu bazar único e pela Casa Skendulaj, que exibe um requintado artesanato da era otomana.
Dia 7 – Gjirokastra–Berat
Ao sétimo dia partimos para a cidade de Berat, outra joia da UNESCO e talvez a cidade histórica mais bem preservada da Albânia. Também é conhecida como a "Cidade das Mil Janelas", Berat abrange 2.400 anos de história em três bairros: Mangalem, Gorica e Kalaja. Visitaremos o Museu Iconográfico Onufri, localizado dentro de uma igreja do século XVI na cidadela habitada. Como Berat é a principal região vinícola da Albânia, uma degustação de vinhos opcional numa adega vinícola local estará disponível à noite para os interessados.
Dia 8 – Berat –Airport
Pequeno-almoço no Hotel e à hora combinada partida para o Aeroporto de Tirana.

A Caminhada da Pedra d’Hera permite ligar o Fundão ao monte a que é sobranceiro – Monte de São Brás – e que sustenta a rocha que pertence à memória colectiva dos fundanenses dando nome a este percurso pedestre: a Pedra D’Hera, Miradouro natural por excelência é envolta por um coberto vegetal e linhas de água cristalina que criam habitats propícios ao aparecimento e desenvolvimento de inúmeras espécies de fauna e flora. O esforço da subida ao Miradouro é bem recompensado pela esplêndida paisagem sobre a Cova da Beira e o flanco Sudeste e Este da serra da Estrela que esta modesta varanda metálica oferece. A pouco mais de 800 m de altitude, este miradouro encontra-se instalado sobre um afloramento de rocha xistosa em alguns pontos ainda revestida por uma planta trepadeira, a hera (Hedera helix) – daí o nome pedra d’hera –, e rodeado por extenso castinçal.

Aqui sentimos algo de fascinante, que nos envolve e harmoniza. Tudo nos inspira, tudo nos cativa…. Desde os sons das águas que brotam das fontes, ao granito perpetuado que ergue a aldeia e talha o casario, os templos, as calçadas, as praças…
Caminhar por Castelo Novo é provar contrastes de cores, sabores e texturas e quando achamos que já descobrimos tudo surge no alto, o imponente castelo que guarda há mais de 800 anos história e segredos. Uma herança templária defendida por corajosas muralhas.

Event Description
EVENT: Weekend at the Lousal Mining Complex, Beja, and Descent to the Aljustrel Mine
DATE OF REALISATION: 14 a 15 de Novembro de 2026
ENROLMENT DEADLINE : 31 August 2026
EVENT DESCRIPTION: “Weekend at the Lousal Mining Complex, Beja, and Descent to the Aljustrel Mine”
In this proposed activity we will go on two walks, one to discover the surroundings of the Lousal Mining Complex and the other in the mining town of Aljustrel. In between, there will be time for a stroll through the historic centre of Beja. On Sunday, after breakfast and a walk through the town of Aljustrel, we'll go on a guided tour of the Mining Park, including a descent into the Mining Gallery on Floor 30. It's a weekend full of interesting things to do, where we can also try some of Alentejo's fine cuisine. Come with us and you won't regret it! Places are limited!
Lousal Village and Mining Complex
The Lousal Mine and its mining village are part of an old mining area located in the parishes of Azinheira dos Barros and São Mamede do Sádão. It was exploited in two phases, first in the 19th century and then from 1900 to 1988, and was part of the Belgian group “SAPEC” for most of its production. The main product was pyrite, from which sulphur was extracted, used in the production of sulphuric acid, which in turn was a component in the manufacture of fertilisers. The closure of the mines caused serious economic problems in the village of Lousal, where the workers and their families lived, which is why the Grândola municipality and SAPEC began a programme to rehabilitate the old mining structures.
Mining Museum
This museum, located in the old power station building, aims to recreate the atmosphere of the Lousal mines and is an integral part of the Frédéric Velge Foundation. Copper pyrites were extracted from these mines between 1900 and 1988. Today it is possible to visit the facilities, excavations and galleries of the mine, as well as the engines of the power station that supplied not only the mine, but also the local population.
Aljustrel Mining Park
The Aljustrel Mining Park is a living space where stories are told using innovation. A museum space without conventional walls, where you can learn, feel and reflect. One of the highlights of the project is the immersive tunnel, designed to evoke the daily life of miners. The lanterns project shadows and lights that accompany the chants of labour and the invocation to Santa Barbara, patron saint of miners. In this atmosphere, the hymn echoes as a tribute to the courage and resilience of those who, for generations, have lived from the depths of the earth. One of the most memorable experiences of the entire guided tour is the descent into one of the Mine's tunnels.
These are some of the most important places we'll be visiting during this event:
- Lousal Mining Village and Mining Complex
- Lousal Ciência Viva Centre
- Mining Museum
- Stroll through the historic centre of Beja
- Tour of the town of Ajustrel
- Maralhas Mill
- Chapel of Our Lady of the Castle
- Nossa Senhora do Castelo Viewpoint and Swing
- 25 April Garden
- Visit to the Aljustrel Mining Park with a descent to the Mining Gallery on Level 30 - “Aljustrel Has a Mine” route; Iron Hat Walkways; Compressor Plant; Viana Well and Vipasca Malacates.
- Natural landscapes
TIME: Departure from Lisbon at 7am
RETURN: Arrival in Lisbon at 7.30pm
Dia 14 de Novembro (sábado)
Walking: “Lousal a Céu Aberto - Mining Trail”
Points of interest: Walkways, Lagoons, Corona Stream, Malacate, Workshops and Warehouses, Power Station, Old Railway and Natural Landscapes
The “Lousal a Céu Aberto” (Lousal in the Open) route consists of a walking tour of the old Lousal mine shaft, which once produced pyrite, a sulphide rich in sulphur, essential for the production of sulphuric acid and used in the manufacture of fertilisers. At the beginning and end of the circuit, various infrastructures that characterise industrial mining archaeology are shown. Along the way, visitors come into contact with different geological structures (outcrops, faults and folds) as well as acid water lagoons (“green lagoon” and “red lagoon”, the latter of which has a submerged spring). The cementation tanks (former copper extraction structures) are worth noting, and at the end of the circuit we walk along the “pyrites road”, which used to distribute the ore to the railway line. Other infrastructures such as the administrative, social and housing buildings are also covered.

Event Description
EVENT: Weekend in Terras de Sicó - Buracas de Casmilo, Canhão de Vale de Poios, Santiago da Guarda and Redinha
DATE OF REALISATION: 28 a 29 de Novembro de 2026
ENROLMENT DEADLINE : 31 August 2026
EVENT DESCRIPTION: “Weekend in the Lands of Sicó - Buracas de Casmilo, Canhão de Vale de Poios, Santiago da Guarda and Redinha”
In this activity proposal we will go on two hikes in an area where tranquillity and memories of other times reign. We start with a hike from the village of Furadouro and the most emblematic point is the Buracas de Casmilo, in the Serra de Sicó massif, where there is the highest concentration of potholes in Portugal. This is an unmissable experience for those who enjoy walks that combine stunning landscapes, impressive geology and a touch of mystery. After the walk we'll visit the Monumental Complex of Santiago da Guarda, where there are traces of the Romans who passed through here. On Sunday, the walk will take in the Vale de Poios canyon, one of the most impressive fluviocratic canyons in Portugal. This trail also passes by the Senhora da Estrela Viewpoint and Chapel and the Dolina dos Poios, among other places of interest. Come with us and you won't regret it! Limited places
These are some of the most important places we'll be visiting during this event:
- Casmilo Holes
- Our Lady of the Circle Chapel
- Village of Furadouro and Casmilo
- Santiago da Guarda Monument Complex
- Pombal
- Vale de Poios fluvial canyon
- Chapel of Senhora da Estrela

- Village of Poios
- Natural landscapes
TIME: Departure from Lisbon at 7am

Dia 28 de Novembro (sábado)
Walking: “Casmilo Hole Route”
Points of interest: Buracas de Casmilo, Aldeia de Furadouro, Aldeia de Casmilo, Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora do Círculo and Natural landscapes
Located in the municipality of Condeixa-a-Nova, the Buracas do Casmilo Trail is an unmissable experience for those who enjoy walks that combine stunning landscapes, impressive geology and a touch of mystery. The highlight of this trail is undoubtedly the Buracas do Casmilo, a series of cavities carved out of the imposing limestone cliffs. These formations are the remains of ancient caves which, over the millennia, were moulded by erosion and partially collapsed, leaving large “holes” in the cliffs visible. The result is an almost surreal scene, where the force of nature has carved out real windows into the region's geological past. Although they are not real caves, these holes served in ancient times as shelter for animals and possibly for the region's first inhabitants. Today, they are one of the most emblematic places in the Serra de Sicó, attracting not only hikers but also photographers and nature lovers looking to record their grandeur
Route length: 11 kilometres
Estimated duration: 3h30
Level of difficulty of the route: 3 (Scale of 1 to 5)

Walking: “Vale de Poios fluvial canyon”
Points of interest: Vale de Poios river canyon, Senhora da Estrela viewpoint and chapel, Poios doline, natural landscapes, etc.
The route starts in the village of Poios and follows rural paths with stone walls, olive groves and agricultural fields, offering a gradual entry into the wild environment of the canyon. As the trail progresses, the road narrows and turns into a stony track that leads deep into the valley, a dramatic scene marked by rocks, steep slopes and dense vegetation. The route continues towards the villages of Mocifas de São Amaro and Covão das Favas, combining rural paths, pine forests and stretches of tarmac. The ascent to the geodesic vertex of Senhora da Estrela (398 metres) offers a privileged view of the surrounding landscape and is one of the highlights of this trail in the Serra de Sicó. The final descent passes the dolina, which holds water all year round, before returning to the village of Poios.
Route length: 9 kilometres
Estimated time: 3 hours
Level of difficulty of the route: 3 (Scale of 1 to 5)
13h00 - Restaurant lunch suggestion

EVENT: Caminhando em Aracena, Gruta das Maravilhas, Parque Mineiro de Rio Tinto, Aroche, Cortegana, Fregenal de La Sierra e Barrancos
DATE OF REALISATION: 28, 29, 30 de Novembro e 1 Dezembro 2026
ENROLMENT DEADLINE : 31 August 2026
DESCRIÇÃO DO EVENTO: “Caminhando em Aracena, Gruta das Maravilhas, Parque Mineiro de Rio Tinto, Aroche, Cortegana, Fregenal de La Sierra e Barrancos”
Nesta proposta de atividade iremos fazer 1 caminhada nos Bosques de Aracena, e passeios em Cortegana, Aroche, Aracena, Fregenal de La Sierra e Barrancos, com destaque para várias visitas onde destacamos o Parque Mineiro de Rio Tinto, e a Gruta das Maravilhas, para além de Castelos e outros lugares fantásticos de Espanha. Venha daí conosco e não se vai arrepender! Lugares limitados!
Cidade romana de Turobriga
A cidade romana de Arucci/Turobriga é o único sítio do seu género aberto ao público na província de Huelva. As suas características únicas fazem dela um local que vale bem a pena visitar. A extensão e a preservação do traçado completo da cidade, com edifícios públicos como o fórum, as termas e o recinto, misturam-se com espaços privados como a Casa Norte e a Casa da Coluna.
Castelo de Aroche
A fortificação de Aroche é um forte andaluz antigo (hisn) construído durante o período almóada para defender-se do avanço português em direção ao Algarve e ao Vale do Guadalquivir, como ocorreu em Moura e Serpa. Durante o período islâmico, fez parte da Cora of Beja . Após a sua conquista pela Ordem Militar do Hospital, em apoio ao Reino de Portugal, e a sua subsequente filiação jurisdicional à Coroa de Castela, tornou-se parte da Banda Galega, que proporcionava defesa passiva ao extenso distrito de Sevilha na sua fronteira noroeste. A sua localização elevada oferece-lhe uma vista privilegiada sobre a planície de Chanza, uma passagem natural para a entrada histórica deste território a partir da região do Alentejo.
A Gruta das Maravilhas em Aracena
A Gruta das Maravilhas é o símbolo máximo de Aracena. Localizada bem no centro da cidade, a riqueza e a variedade de formações visíveis ao longo dos seus 1.200 metros de percurso fazem dela uma das grutas turísticas mais visitadas de Espanha, e também uma das pioneiras deste tipo de turismo na Europa. The primeiras referências à sua descoberta datam de 1850, através de trabalhos de mineração , e foi aberta ao público em 1914. A vasta extensão de seus lagos, a abundância e variedade de formações, e a longa duração de seu desenvolvimento fazem deste complexo subterrâneo um lugar de grande beleza e esplendor, sendo, portanto, especialmente atraente do ponto de vista turístico.
Parque Mineiro de Rio Tinto
Museu da Mineração: 5.000 anos de história da mineração.
O antigo edifício do hospital da Rio Tinto, totalmente restaurado, transporta-nos, através de autênticas exposições museológicas, para as diferentes civilizações que moldaram a história mineira da região. Um espaço único onde podemos explorar o interior de uma mina romana, vivenciar o luxo de um marajá hindu, descobrir os segredos geológicos do subsolo ou maravilhar-nos com o poder da mineração para transformar uma paisagem e influenciar a vida dos seus habitantes.

Não há melhor maneira de compreender o legado de 100 anos de presença britânica em Riotinto do que explorar o bairro inglês de Bella Vista, uma verdadeira colônia onde os executivos da Rio Tinto Company Ltd., isolados dos trabalhadores locais, mantinham seus costumes e privilégios. No coração dessa “ilha” britânica, a Casa 21, construída em 1885, é preservada com detalhes, móveis e pertences que nos transportam para o final do século XIX e início do século XX, permitindo-nos mergulhar em seu modo de vida, vivenciar o ritual do chá da tarde ou imaginar momentos de lazer praticando desportos e jogos então desconhecidos em Espanha, como ténis, polo, críquete… ou futebol.
Comboio Turístico: Uma viagem através do tempo e de paisagens de outro mundo.
A experiência mais popular no Parque Mineiro é a restauração de parte da linha férrea original que, desde 1875, ligava as minas ao Porto de Huelva. Em vagões de madeira reconstruídos a partir de projetos do século XIX e com locomotivas que são verdadeiras joias do patrimônio ferroviário mundial, vamos viajar por paisagens transformadas pela ação humana durante 150 anos de atividade mineira, seguindo o curso do Rio Tinto e o seu ecossistema singular. Essa combinação de sensações transporta os visitantes para cenários que parecem de outro planeta.
Ferrovia a diesel: 22 km (ida e volta).
Iron Rock: A Mina do Arco-Íris
Num dos locais mais belos da Bacia Mineira, uma Paisagem Protegida, uma antiga galeria com mais de 200 metros de comprimento foi restaurada. Os visitantes podem experimentar a emoção da mineração subterrânea e contemplar, do miradouro da mina a céu aberto, a paleta multicolorida de um subsolo rico em minerais — um verdadeiro arco-íris subterrâneo. Estudos científicos do CAB (Centro de Astrobiologia), do INTA (Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia Aeroespacial) e da NASA para o desenvolvimento do Projeto Marte foram realizados neste local extraordinário. Um complexo de antigas instalações de mineração e industriais e o Centro de Interpretação do Rio Tinto completam este impressionante sítio.
Visite uma das maravilhas da província de Huelva.
A imensidão da Corta Atalaya é de tirar o fôlego. Marco da mineração mundial, ela exibe o impressionante trabalho dos milhares de mineiros que esculpiram cada um de seus terraços. Um dos símbolos da província de Huelva, pode ser apreciada no Parque Mineiro.
Castelo de Cortegana
Esta fortaleza-castelo foi construída no final do século XIII para proteger o Reino de Sevilha de possíveis incursões portuguesas. Entre o início da construção e até ao século XVI estão documentadas várias reformas e extensões, o que lhe deu uma maior força e altura das suas muralhas, bem como o levantamento de abóbadas nas suas torres. Hoje tem uma aparência muito bem preservada graças ao trabalho de restauro e recuperação que foi concluído em 2006.

Event Description
EVENT: Caminhando em Aracena, Gruta das Maravilhas, Parque Mineiro de Rio Tinto, Aroche, Cortegana, Fregenal de La Sierra e Barrancos
DATE OF REALISATION: 28, 29, 30 de Novembro e 1 Dezembro 2026
ENROLMENT DEADLINE : 31 August 2026
DESCRIÇÃO DO EVENTO: “Caminhando em Aracena, Gruta das Maravilhas, Parque Mineiro de Rio Tinto, Aroche, Cortegana, Fregenal de La Sierra e Barrancos”
Nesta proposta de atividade iremos fazer 1 caminhada nos Bosques de Aracena, e passeios em Cortegana, Aroche, Aracena, Fregenal de La Sierra e Barrancos, com destaque para várias visitas onde destacamos o Parque Mineiro de Rio Tinto, e a Gruta das Maravilhas, para além de Castelos e outros lugares fantásticos de Espanha. Venha daí conosco e não se vai arrepender! Lugares limitados!
Cidade romana de Turobriga
A cidade romana de Arucci/Turobriga é o único sítio do seu género aberto ao público na província de Huelva. As suas características únicas fazem dela um local que vale bem a pena visitar. A extensão e a preservação do traçado completo da cidade, com edifícios públicos como o fórum, as termas e o recinto, misturam-se com espaços privados como a Casa Norte e a Casa da Coluna.
Castelo de Aroche
A fortificação de Aroche é um forte andaluz antigo (hisn) construído durante o período almóada para defender-se do avanço português em direção ao Algarve e ao Vale do Guadalquivir, como ocorreu em Moura e Serpa. Durante o período islâmico, fez parte da Cora of Beja . Após a sua conquista pela Ordem Militar do Hospital, em apoio ao Reino de Portugal, e a sua subsequente filiação jurisdicional à Coroa de Castela, tornou-se parte da Banda Galega, que proporcionava defesa passiva ao extenso distrito de Sevilha na sua fronteira noroeste. A sua localização elevada oferece-lhe uma vista privilegiada sobre a planície de Chanza, uma passagem natural para a entrada histórica deste território a partir da região do Alentejo.
A Gruta das Maravilhas em Aracena
A Gruta das Maravilhas é o símbolo máximo de Aracena. Localizada bem no centro da cidade, a riqueza e a variedade de formações visíveis ao longo dos seus 1.200 metros de percurso fazem dela uma das grutas turísticas mais visitadas de Espanha, e também uma das pioneiras deste tipo de turismo na Europa. The primeiras referências à sua descoberta datam de 1850, através de trabalhos de mineração , e foi aberta ao público em 1914. A vasta extensão de seus lagos, a abundância e variedade de formações, e a longa duração de seu desenvolvimento fazem deste complexo subterrâneo um lugar de grande beleza e esplendor, sendo, portanto, especialmente atraente do ponto de vista turístico.
Parque Mineiro de Rio Tinto
Museu da Mineração: 5.000 anos de história da mineração.
O antigo edifício do hospital da Rio Tinto, totalmente restaurado, transporta-nos, através de autênticas exposições museológicas, para as diferentes civilizações que moldaram a história mineira da região. Um espaço único onde podemos explorar o interior de uma mina romana, vivenciar o luxo de um marajá hindu, descobrir os segredos geológicos do subsolo ou maravilhar-nos com o poder da mineração para transformar uma paisagem e influenciar a vida dos seus habitantes. Arqueologia, geologia, antropologia, engenharia, medicina, educação, história, economia… tudo isso em 17 salas que também servem como centro das atividades turísticas do Parque Mineiro.
Casa 21: A pegada britânica
Não há melhor maneira de compreender o legado de 100 anos de presença britânica em Riotinto do que explorar o bairro inglês de Bella Vista, uma verdadeira colônia onde os executivos da Rio Tinto Company Ltd., isolados dos trabalhadores locais, mantinham seus costumes e privilégios. No coração dessa “ilha” britânica, a Casa 21, construída em 1885, é preservada com detalhes, móveis e pertences que nos transportam para o final do século XIX e início do século XX, permitindo-nos mergulhar em seu modo de vida, vivenciar o ritual do chá da tarde ou imaginar momentos de lazer praticando desportos e jogos então desconhecidos em Espanha, como ténis, polo, críquete… ou futebol.
Comboio Turístico: Uma viagem através do tempo e de paisagens de outro mundo.
A experiência mais popular no Parque Mineiro é a restauração de parte da linha férrea original que, desde 1875, ligava as minas ao Porto de Huelva. Em vagões de madeira reconstruídos a partir de projetos do século XIX e com locomotivas que são verdadeiras joias do patrimônio ferroviário mundial, vamos viajar por paisagens transformadas pela ação humana durante 150 anos de atividade mineira, seguindo o curso do Rio Tinto e o seu ecossistema singular. Essa combinação de sensações transporta os visitantes para cenários que parecem de outro planeta.
Ferrovia a diesel: 22 km (ida e volta).
Iron Rock: A Mina do Arco-Íris
Num dos locais mais belos da Bacia Mineira, uma Paisagem Protegida, uma antiga galeria com mais de 200 metros de comprimento foi restaurada. Os visitantes podem experimentar a emoção da mineração subterrânea e contemplar, do miradouro da mina a céu aberto, a paleta multicolorida de um subsolo rico em minerais — um verdadeiro arco-íris subterrâneo. Estudos científicos do CAB (Centro de Astrobiologia), do INTA (Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia Aeroespacial) e da NASA para o desenvolvimento do Projeto Marte foram realizados neste local extraordinário. Um complexo de antigas instalações de mineração e industriais e o Centro de Interpretação do Rio Tinto completam este impressionante sítio.

A imensidão da Corta Atalaya é de tirar o fôlego. Marco da mineração mundial, ela exibe o impressionante trabalho dos milhares de mineiros que esculpiram cada um de seus terraços. Um dos símbolos da província de Huelva, pode ser apreciada no Parque Mineiro.

Entre o início da construção e até ao século XVI estão documentadas várias reformas e extensões, o que lhe deu uma maior força e altura das suas muralhas, bem como o levantamento de abóbadas nas suas torres.

Event Description
EVENT: Caminhando nas cores de Outono do Canon del Sil (com Cruzeiro no Rio, Miradouros e as fantásticas cores de Outono dos castanheiros e vinhas dos socalcos da Rbeira Sacra)
DATE OF REALISATION: 5 a 8 de Dezembro de 2026
ENROLMENT DEADLINE : 30 de Setembro de 2025
DESCRIÇÃO DO EVENTO: “Caminhando nas cores de Outono do Canon del Sil (com Cruzeiro no Rio, Miradouros e as fantásticas cores de Outono dos castanheiros, bosques de carvalhos e vinhas dos socalcos da Ribeira Sacra)”
Nesta proposta de atividade iremos percorrer algumas das mais belas paisagens da zona do Desfiladeiro do Rio Sil, principal afluente do rio Minho. Uma paisagem onde se pode admirar a cultura da vinha em socalcos ainda mais pequenos e íngremes do que no rio Douro (que produzem os famosos vinhos da Ribeira Sacra), Miradouros com vistas fantásticas para o rio, com imponentes arribas rochosas até à água, passadiços ao longo do Rio Mao e muitos Bosques de Carvalhos e Castanheiros que impressionam com as suas cores de Outono. Venha daí conosco e não se vai arrepender! Lugares limitados – grupo de 9 participantes!
O Desfiladeiro do Sil
O Desfiladeiro do Sil é indubitavelmente um dos pontos mais importantes da Ribeira Sacra. Esta profunda garganta de rocha, água e curvas sinuosas não consegue deixar indiferente quem vem contemplar as suas paisagens. Os seus declives verticais, cultivados desde a antiguidade, continuam ainda hoje a ser o meio de subsistência de muitos habitantes na região, que neles produzem uma uva de excelente qualidade. Este território é igualmente um refúgio de muitas espécies animais e vegetais, que encontram entre estas arribas e nas águas do Sil as condições adequadas para a sua existência. Entre as províncias de Lugo e Ourense, a pouco mais de duzentos metros de altitude, encontramos o troço final do rio Sil. Em ambos os lados, e ao longo de mais de trinta e cinco quilómetros, erguem-se duas paredes que, nalgumas zonas, atingem uma altura de quase quinhentos metros em relação às suas águas. Estas encostas guiam o rio por entre amplas curvas e meandros, que compõem alguns dos recantos mais mágicos em toda a Galiza.
Monforte de Lemos
Monforte é uma cidade que tem muito para ver. Na colina encontra-se o Complexo Monumental de S. Vicente do Pino de traças medieval, moderna e contemporânea, formado pela Torre de Menagem, pelo Mosteiro de S. Vicente do Pino e pelo Palácio dos Condes de Lemos.
Este conjunto e o Convento de Santa Clara e o Colégio do Cardeal Rodrigo de Castro são as joias artística da cidade. Entre estas três joias artísticas está a zona histórica com a vila e muralha medievais, a zona judaica, o Convento de Santo Domingo, o Centro Vitivinícola da Ribeira Sacra e a Ponte Vella.
Castro Caldelas
A vila de Castro Caldelas está situada no coração da Ribeira Sacra de Ourense, numa colina sobranceira às margens do rio Edo.
A vila sempre teve belas galerias brancas e casas brasonadas que nos mostram o rico esplendor medieval. A Praça do Prado é a entrada principal do centro histórico, e percorrendo as suas ruas estreitas e empedradas podemos conhecer a sua história através das casas senhoriais com brasões a coroar as suas fachadas. Estas ruas íngremes, que na primavera se enchem de cor, conduzem-nos à fortaleza, o símbolo mais visível da história de Castro Caldelas.
O castelo, construído no século XIV, tem três torres quadrangulares na sua muralha exterior, uma praça de armas com uma cisterna ao fundo. Os brasões da porta principal recordam-nos os senhores do castelo. A muralha interior é coroada de ameias, ao longo das quais corre o Caminho de Ronda, que liga à casa do administrador e à Torre do Relógio
