Tips from the Community

January 4, 2026, Lagoa da Meadinha

Lagoa da Meadinha is a small lagoon located in Peneda-Gerês National Park, in the Meadinha area, very close to the famous granite wall that attracts climbers. It is a natural lagoon with calm waters, formed by the accumulation of water in granite depressions. The landscape is spectacular: large granite boulders, meadows, and views of the Gerês mountain range. It is ideal for photography, wildlife observation, and relaxing on hiking trails.

Pantano (so named by the locals), is a natural lake at an altitude of 1000 meters. The large boulder in the middle of the lake is associated with a local legend.
