Peneda Gerês National Park – Portugal

Breathe in the lush green scenery in Peneda Gerês

Made from granite and perched on the highest point in the village, the espigueiros do Soajo are used to store grain away from vermin and water.

Join us on our trip to explore Peneda Gerês National Park in northern Portugal – Spain. Then on to Soajo mountain village with amazing stone Espigueiros, hiking and wild swimming. We drove from Algarve in the south of Portugal to enjoy some cooler temperatures, hiking and swimming with our two Hungarian Vizsla in the North of Portugal. We visited Gerês, Peneda Gerês National Park, entered into Galicia Spain, and then a few days in Soajo.

 

Gin & Bird enjoyed swimming in the rivers and running through the lush green grass.

We only intended to use Soajo as a base, but we fell in love with the peace and tranquility of the granite mountain village. I’ve included a tour of our rental property, which I highly recommend.

 

Filmed in July 2021, I completely forgot to share this video on my blog. It brings back such happy memories and I can’t wait to visit again this year.

Definitely recommend!
