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.
Points of interest: Bridges, tunnels, footbridges, the River Águeda, the International Bridge, the River Douro, La Fregeneda station, Barca D'Alva station, natural landscapes, etc.

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.

Em plena alma da Serra da Gardunha, numa paisagem em anfiteatro natural, em tons de verde e cinza, aquecida pelo sol, descobrimos Castelo Novo, Aldeia Histórica de Portugal, envolta numa aura de misticismo e transcendência. 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

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: Walking in Serra d'Ossa, Redondo, Alandroal and Vila Viçosa
DATE OF REALISATION: 21 a 22 de Novembro de 2026
EVENT DESCRIPTION: "Walking in Serra d'Ossa, Redondo, Alandroal and Vila Viçosa"
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 20 OUTUBRO 2026
In this activity proposal, we'll go on 2 hikes and walks in Redondo, Alandroal and Vila Viçosa and get to know this part of our fabulous Alentejo better. We'll start with a hike in the fantastic Serra d'Ossa on the first day and another hike on Sunday in Vila Viçosa. Come with us and you won't regret it!
These are some of the most important places we'll be visiting during this event:
- Hike in the Serra d'Ossa
- Walkways and climb to the highest point of Serra d'Ossa
- Tour of Redondo (Pelourinho and Castle)
- Visit to the Clay Museum
- Visit to the Redondo Flowery Streets Workshops
- Tour of the Historic Centre of Alandroal
- Walk and Stroll in Vila Viçosa (Pelourinho, Churches, etc.)
- Possibility of visiting the Ducal Palace and Castle
- Natural landscapes
TIME: Departure from Lisbon at 7am
RETURN: Arrival in Lisbon at 7.30pm
Dia 21 de Novembro (sábado)
Walk: "Walking on the Serra d'Ossa Hermitage Trail"
Points of interest: Aldeia da Serra, Serra d'Ossa, Monte da Virgem Church, Walkways, Ermitas Gardens, Alto de S. Gens, Cork and Holm Oak Forests and Lagar Velho Road
Although the Serra d'Ossa Walkways were only inaugurated in April 2021, they are already one of the must-see places in the Alentejo for all nature lovers. This is because travelling through them allows you to see a very different side of this region in the south of Portugal, which is more associated with vast plains than rugged mountain ranges. The walkways run along the verdant valley of the Ribeira do Monte Virgem, through steep schist cliffs, between Aldeia da Serra and the towering Church of Nossa Senhora do Monte da Virgem, preceded by an extensive staircase with approximately 300 steps. But there's much more to the walk than the footbridges, which is why it's necessary to follow this route, adapted by Caminhando.pt, while still reaching the highest point in the Serra, up to 650 metres above sea level, with 360º views as far as the eye can see!
Level of difficulty of the route: 3 (Scale of 1 to 5)
Route length: 13 kilometres
- We suggest the picnic option, which is the responsibility of each participant
Estimated duration: 4h30
The afternoon highlights:
- Tour of the village of Redondo (castle, pillory, etc.)
- Visit to the Clay Museum
- Visit to the Flower Street Workshops
- Tour of Alandroal
- Group Dinner Suggestion in Alandroal
Dia 22 de Novembro (domingo)
Walking: "Walking in the suburbs of Vila Viçosa"
Points of interest: Vila Viçosa, Praça da República, Pelourinho, Estrada Real, Fossos do Castelo, Igreja e Convento dos Capuchos, Fonte do Vale da Rabaça, among others
This walk will take us to see not only some of the most important points of Vila Viçosa, such as its Castle (exterior, moats, etc.), Pillory, as well as the fascinating surrounding countryside, where we highlight the passage on the Old Royal Road, with a connection to Elvas, as well as a privileged view of the wall of the Tapada Real that surrounds the immense property of the Casa de Bragança Foundation and the ruins of the Chapel of Our Lady of Paradise.
Level of difficulty of the route: 2 (Scale of 1 to 5)
Route length: 9 kilometres
Estimated time: 3 hours
Vila Viçosa
Vila Viçosa was built by King Afonso III, who granted it a charter in 1270. It was later donated to D. Nuno Álvares Pereira and in 1422 it was given to D. Fernando's grandson. During the reign of King Manuel I, the town became part of the House of Bragança. It was the cradle of Portugal's fourth dynasty and received a new charter in 1512. As far as historical and monumental heritage is concerned, the castle of Vila Viçosa should be mentioned, in which the medieval fence, towers and gates coexist with the Renaissance fortification (an uncommon example of Portuguese military architecture), which preserves the alcazaba. It is surrounded by a deep moat and two cylindrical turrets and has a quadrangular plan.
- We suggest the option of a picnic or lunch at a local restaurant, which is the responsibility of each participant.
- Possibility of visiting the Castle and/or Ducal Palace

Village of Alferce
The village of Alferce is located on the eastern edge of the Monchique massif. To the north and south it is conditioned by tectonic valleys that have facilitated hydrological erosion phenomena, resulting in deep and very steep-sided valleys, such as the Barranco do Demo or the valley of the Monchique stream.
Alferce Castle
The Cerro do Castelo de Alferce Archaeological Site is located at the top of a hill that rises to an altitude of 488 metres and stands out on the eastern edge of the Monchique mountain range. At the top of Cerro do Castelo de Alferce are the ruins of an Islamic fortification that was probably built in the 9th century AD, during the Emirate-Muslim era, making it one of the oldest surviving Muslim castles in Portugal. It has been classified as a site of public interest since June 2013. The castle played an important role in controlling the region's main communication routes. This hill, with good natural conditions for surveillance and defence, is also close to two important watercourses in the region, the Monchique and Odelouca streams, which provided a link between the mountains and the coast.

Event Description
EVENT: Weekend in Terras de Sicó - Buracas de Casmilo, Canhão de Vale de Poios, Santiago da Guarda and Redinha

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
- Senhora da Estrela Viewpoint
- Villages of Mocifas de São Amaro and Covão das Favas
- Dolina dos Poios
- Village of Poios
- Natural landscapes
TIME: Departure from Lisbon at 7am
RETURN: Arrival in Lisbon at 7.30pm
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)
13h30 - We suggest the picnic option, which is the responsibility of each participant.
15h00 - Visit to the Monumental Complex of Santiago da Guarda
A National Monument since 1978 and the only example of Manueline architecture in the county. It brings together in the same space a four-century tower with a medieval base, rebuilt on the ruins of a Roman Villa from the 4th and 5th centuries, and a Manueline palace, built by Simão de Sousa Ribeiro during the first half of the 16th century.
16.30 - Short walk in Pombal
18h15 - Hotel check-in
19h45 - Suggested Group Dinner
Dia 29 de Novembro (domingo)
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
14.30 - Short visit to the village of Redinha
Inhabited since Romanisation, it had its first charter in 1159 by the Order of the Temple. In the 14th century it passed to the Order of Christ, beginning a period of prosperity that ended with the French invasions. Today it is one of the most important parishes in the county's tourism scene
Points of interest: Romanesque bridge, pillory and parish church
15.30 - Short visit to the Anços water holes
Olhos de Água do Anços is a naturally beautiful karst spring located between Arrancada and Anços, in the parish of Redinha, in Pombal. It is the main outcrop of the limestone massif of the Serra do Sicó, forming the Anços River. This spot is popular for bathing, with its crystal-clear waters, and is a place of great environmental value.

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.
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 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
