Review & FAQ:
Established in 1971, the Peneda-Geres National Park encompasses approximately 270 square miles of beautiful forests dotted with medieval ruins, rushing waterfalls, and rugged cliffs. There are plenty of hiking trails for visitors to enjoy, and if you travel deep into the forest, you might have the chance to spot wild ponies, Spanish ibexes, or eagles. There are also hundreds of charming granite villages scattered through the park, and even if you came here primarily for the nature, it's worth stopping in Castro Laboreiro village to see its magnificent castle and visiting the Vila do Gerês to soak in the thermal baths.
