Hiking
At the top of Gardunha, almost 1,000 meters above sea level, stands the Castelo Velho site. From here, the view reaches the Castelo Branco plain and continues to the Tagus River, an endless horizon. Among balanced rocks, blocks sculpted by time, and curious granite forms, this place is a veritable open book of geology and a privileged viewpoint of the mountains.
