Parque Natural do Douro Internacional

This hiking tour is perfect to see spectacular and monumental ravines in which various bird species, that are endangered at the national and international level, build their nests, who are undoubtedly also attracted by the proximity of farming and cattle raising units, where it is easy to locate and obtain sources of nourishment. The endangered species include the Egyptian vulture or Britango, which has been chosen as the symbol of this power. During the Spring months, with the almond trees in blossom, nature offers a highly appreciated spectacle of beauty and colour that is celebrated in popular festivities.
